Win Our Classic Motorbike


Our 1960 Royal Enfield 250 is live and ready to win on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.

The 1960 Royal Enfield 250, also known as the Royal Enfield Crusader, is a classic motorcycle that was part of the post-war era when motorcycles were not just a means of transportation but also a symbol of freedom and adventure. The Crusader was one of Royal Enfield’s answers to the growing demand for lightweight, affordable, and reliable motorcycles.

Bridge Classic Cars at the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall

We had the privilege of being the headline sponsors of the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall this past weekend, and it was a huge success. As the main sponsors, we wanted to make a big impression, and we’re thrilled to say we think we did just that!

A Stand to Remember

Our stand proved to be very popular with visitors to the show. Thanks to the incredible canvas setup from Events Under Canvas, we had a comfortable and inviting space. The seating area was perfect for people to relax, chat, and enjoy the cars. It wasn’t just about the vehicles for us; it was about creating a great atmosphere where everyone could share their love for classic cars.


Interesting & Unique Vehicles

The real stars of our stand were the rare and interesting classic cars and bikes we had on display. Each one had its own story such as our 1905 Riley 9HP, 1939 Jaguar SS100, 2022 C-Type Replica, or our beautiful 1959 Ford Zephyr.

All of the cars on our stand generated a lot of interest and got lots of attention. The whole team were very excited to talk to people about each one and tell their stories.


The Live Draw

One of the highlights of the day was our live draw to find the winner of our stunning 1958 Austin Healey 100/6. As it ended up being a local winner, we were hopeful he might be in attendance at the show but, unfortunately, it wasn’t to be and we had to settle with speaking to him on the phone.


A Day of Fun and Team Spirit

The whole day was great fun for both the visitors and our team. We enjoyed every moment, from setting up the stand to chatting with fellow enthusiasts.

Very simply…it’s days like these that remind us why we love what we do.

Looking Forward to Next Year

As we packed up at the end of the day, we were already excited about next year’s event. We’re eager to build on this year’s success and bring even more excitement to the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall. We’re brainstorming ideas to make our stand even bigger and better and can’t wait to share our plans.

Why We Love Being Part of the Classic Car Community

Being part of the classic car community is more than just a business for us; it’s a passion and a privilege. Events like these allow us to connect with fellow enthusiasts, share our love for these beautiful machines, and contribute to the preservation of automotive history. We’re proud to support and sponsor events that bring people together and celebrate the artistry and craftsmanship of classic cars and the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars certainly does that.

Helmingham Hall

For those who’ve never been, the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall is an amazing event. The stunning backdrop of Helmingham Hall adds to the huge range of cars on display. With its beautiful gardens and historic architecture, it’s the perfect setting for a day dedicated to appreciating the beauty and history of classic vehicles.

Thank You

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand, participated in the live draw, and shared their stories and passion with us. A big shoutout to Events Under Canvas for providing such a fantastic setup. And, of course, congratulations to the lucky winner of the 1958 Austin Healey 100/6, Jeremey, we hope you enjoy many miles with it.

See You Next Time

If you missed out this year, don’t worry—there’s always next year! We’re already counting down the days and planning how to make our presence at the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall even more memorable.

In the meantime, keep an eye on our website and social media for updates on upcoming events.

Thank you for making the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall such a wonderful experience for us at Bridge Classic Cars. Here’s to many more successful events.

See you next year!

2024 Festival of Classic & Sports Cars set up and take down.

Set up began early for us on this year’s stand at the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall Gardens. The week prior to the event was glorious sunshine all week and the forecast looked good going in to the weekend so with that in mind we started the installation of the stretch tent from our friends at Events Under Canvas on the Thursday. That meant we were able to start transporting our vehicles over to site and start to lay out the display.

It was certainly less hectic this year having time on our side and the centre tent was a new feature for us this year which was an exciting new addition.

Sunday morning was a bit of a breeze to be honest. A few banners and flags to put up and then we could sit down as a team, grab a coffee and enjoy the surroundings.

The day itself is always so busy at the show that you don’t really get time to enjoy what else is there. This year especially, I didn’t even get to leave the stand so I didn’t manage to see any of the cars on display but Nick, Molly and Rob got to enjoy it a bit more when they were out and about filming the show.

You can check out the proper photos from the day here

And after a full on day which was a huge success, I think the part that was truly quite special was being the last to leave the site after clearing down. I dropped Tamas back off by his car on the top field and then had the opportunity to look back at the incredible all. A few hours previous to these photos the fields were bustling with thousands of cars and spectators all enjoying the atmosphere.

The Festival of Classic & Sports Cars is one of the best shows of the year for us and this year was one of the best of all time. Thank you so much to the team at Helmingham and we are so proud to be a big part of this show and hope to continue our relationship for many years to come.

Even more motorcycles on the move!

It’s not only classic cars that the Bridge Classic Cars team work on! A lot of the team are also avid motorcyclists and especially vintage/classic motorcycles.

At our storage facility, we have a special area which is specifically for storing motorcycles. But recently, our delivery team have transferred two very special bikes from The Hangar to our Pettistree workshops for the team to do a few jobs on.

Safe and Sound

A selection of our private classic motorcycle collection have been moved to their new home at our secure storage facility, the hangar.

the team have been busy recommissioning our two-wheeled wonders to get them back running and roadworthy before our transport team loaded them up and took them over to their new home in the ‘bike room’ at the hangar.

Royal Enfield Single Work

Our 1960 Royal Enfield Single has continued to make progress with technician Paul. He fitted the fuel cap, started the bike and test rode it. He found that the clutch was dragging slightly so the clutch cable was removed and shorten to enable adjustment.

Royal Enfield Check

Paul has been looking at our 1960 Royal Enfield Single.

He fitted a battery and checked for a spark. He added fuel to the bike but found a leak which will need further repairs.

Special Delivery! A collection of vintage British motorcycles arrive at our Suffolk HQ

Here at Bridge Classic Cars, it isn’t just the four wheeled fun that we’re keen on. Here, we’re also massive motorcyle fans with the majority of our technicians and staff all avid bikers.

So, recently when a whole collection of classic and vintage British motorcycles arrived at our Suffolk HQ the whole team got very excited by it.
