Silverstone Auctions is going through a very exciting change. From the 9th of August, Silverstone Auctions will be known as Iconic Auctioneers. The name Silverstone Auctions was the ideal choice when the company first began, as all of its auctions were held at Silverstone Circuit. However, things have changed and now the auctions take place […]
We talk a lot about our secure storage facility, The Hangar, which is located at Bentwaters Parks. As a location, Bentwaters is an incredible place with runways, bunkers, hangars, wildlife, and more. Also located there is the Bentwaters Cold War Museum. As the entire base is a former USAF hardened command post, it’s the perfect […]
The bonnet of our 1958 Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite has been assembled and put back onto the car by classic car technician Jonn. A new exhaust has also been fitted. As this beautiful classic will go on to be a competition car through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, it’s very exciting to see it go through […]
As the primary sponsor of The Festival of Classic and Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall, we found yesterday’s event to be an incredible experience that allowed car enthusiasts and families alike to celebrate and enjoy a huge collection of automotive design and history. Hosted within the picturesque grounds of Helmingham Hall, The Festival of Classic […]
Our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 is live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website. This is our biggest-ever competition and one that we are extremely excited about. The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most recognisable and iconic classic cars. Even Enzo Ferrari himself described it as “the most beautiful car in the world” […]
Another new arrival entered the Bridge Classic Cars workshop earlier this week in the form of our 1926 Clyno Tourer. The car has been stored by its owner for several years so is now coming into us to check over and get back into drivable condition. We have had multiple older cars enter the workshop […]
Classic car technician Steve has been servicing our 1935 Wolseley Super Hornet Special. It only arrived in the last couple of days but Steve has already got straight to work. Multiple grease nipples were greased, and the brakes were checked, cleaned, and adjusted. Steve went on to put new engine oil in and replace the […]
The engine of our Ford Transit MKII Tipper has been in the care of classic car technician Steve recently as he has been stripping the engine. While stripping the engine, Steve found that the coolant passages were blocked and it had a damaged bore so will need reboring along with new pistons. Steve also found […]
Our 1959 Jensen 541R has continued to make good progress as its interior is coming together nicely. Both Brian and Lydia have been working hard to make the interior of the car look as good as the exterior. They have made and fitted the carpet for the boot lid. They also made the patterns and […]
Classic car technician Mauro has been painting our 1973 Triumph Tr6. Before he put a new coat of paint on this eye-catching classic car, he prepped the vehicle before priming it. Once prepped and primed, Mauro painted the TR6 so it is now looking better than ever. After Mauro had finished with our TR6, Lydia […]
As the time gets closer to our biggest competition to date, our 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5, going live on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website, work has been picking up pace as the restoration comes to an end. One of the latest jobs to be completed was done by workshop manager John as he […]
When restoring classic cars, it can be difficult to get the exact part that you’re looking for. This is exactly what happened when classic car technician Monty was looking to replace the door latch on our 1973 Triumph Spitfire. After ordering the part we needed (which was extremely difficult to find), it was found to […]
When former Bridge Classic Cars trimmer, Lydia, left for new pastures, our search for a new trimmer began. We have been lucky enough to find someone who can join the interior trim team, to work alongside Brian, another Lydia! Lydia Mark II joins us with a wealth of classic car experience. After leaving uni, she […]
Great show and the people were so friendly. My son has autism/ADHD and he loved it.
Great day out lovely collection of cars and motorcycles.
Excellent venue and show with a great variety of cars and easily accessed. Look forward to next year.
A great day, enjoyed seeing everyone’s cars.More stalls would be nice, perhaps some car accessory stalls (cleaning, detailing and gadgets)Nice to see everyone look forward to the next.
Thanks, great show at Bentwaters. Will next years be there as difficult to see how you could get all those exhibitors and visitors into the area in front of Suffolk Plant Centre? I was parked next to Steve with his sparkling MGB V8 GT. He was a happy man!
Ideal location, good varied selection of cars from the man who restored in his garage, to the high-end professional restoration, all unique in their own right. Nice atmosphere with the swing and jive music, and not a ghetto blaster. Would like to have seen more stalls generally, including an Autojumble, maybe the weather forecast was […]
Our 2023 Bridge Classic Car show has been shared a lot on social media since last weekend. Here is just a small snapshot of what’s been going on.
The new Bridge Classic Cars trailer hasn’t been with us very long but it has already been extremely busy collecting and delivering classic vehicles all over the country. Recently, we gave it a very short break so it could have a makeover with Bridge Classic Cars branding being applied to it. It’s great to see […]
Earlier this week, we welcomed a very ‘special’ classic vehicle into the Bridge Classic Cars Workshop. Our 1935 Wolseley Super Hornet Special has arrived with us for a service. We have had several older vehicles in the workshop lately and this is another that adds to that collection. As you can see from the photos […]

Jam-packed, covering over 700 years of interactive reenactor displays and bringing together over 1000 reenactors from across the UK and Europe. The cheering crowds were treated to a medieval ‘elimination!’ tournament, […]
Classic car technician Alan has had the wheel hubs of our Ford Transit MKII Tipper in the Bridge Classic Cars Paintshop. After the hubs had been primed and painted, they look much improved and will no doubt look great when they are finally put back on the vehicle as its restoration continues.
Our 1973 Triumph TR6 has been in the Bridge Classic Cars Paintshop with classic car technician Alan who has been painting the hood frame. This is already an attention-grabbing car thanks to its yellow colour and improvements like this go a long way in making it even more admirable.
Classic car technician Alan has been busy painting several components of our 1959 Jensen 541R. These were then passed on to Rob who is continuing his work rebuilding this beautiful classic car. As well as the main body of the car being rebuilt, our interior trim team, Brian and Lydia, have been working hard on […]
We were very proud of our special charity competition where we gave the opportunity for someone to win a 1973 Triumph Spitfire, while also helping to keep East Anglian Air Ambulance saving lives throughout Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, and Bedfordshire. Although we are known for our classic car restorations, we love being able to offer incredible […]
You can now enter to win our 1934 Morris Eight Tourer. This is the oldest car we have ever made available to win through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions and it really is a beautiful classic. Despite being a 1934 model, it still drives and can be used as well as admired.
The Bridge Classic Car Show 2023 took place on Sunday 30th July and it was a great success. With around 800 cars in attendance, The Hangar, at Bentwaters Parks and the surrounding runways were packed with a huge range of vehicles spanning multiple eras, makes, and models. From a Ford Model T from 1912 to […]
Our 1939 Jaguar SS100 may not have been with us very long but, it has now left the Bridge Classic Cars workshop and has been delivered to Holyhead to its owner. It will now travel to Ireland where it will be driven across the country and enjoyed as it should be.
