One of the busiest weekend’s of the year for the team at Bridge Classic Cars as we made an appearance across the country at various classic car events. The Classic at Silverstone is an epic festival weekend for the whole family. It’s got historic motorsport at its heart and entertainment for all ages. Friday saw a day of downpours but this made for some incredible test racing on the track. Check out the videos on The Classic – Silverstone Facebook page.
The TVR Car Club were there for the weekend.
Not a great result from Silverstone Auctions on our 1973 Rolls Royce Corniche, with it not quite meeting the reserve but Karl took some fantastic photos from the weekend nevertheless.
Next stop on Saturday was the Motor Show Events and the Festival Of Wheels at Trinity Park in Ipswich. The youngest member of the Bridge management team Loick (aged 4) got to ride in the Monster truck!
Festival of Wheels is a 2-day visitor or 4-day camping spectacle of speed, family entertainment, amazing vehicles, live stunt shows, shopping, live music, artisan food and drink, and a whole lot more. A fun fuelled weekend out for the whole family, with the event set in 350 acres at Trinity Park, Suffolk’s finest venue we already have more to see and experience than you could do in one day so why not make this a trip to remember with 4 days and 3 nights of camping. There is something for everyone with an intoxicating mix of the big top circus, monster truck rides, wall of death experience, multiple live action arenas, live wrestling arena, BMX stunt shows, thousands of vehicles to see, shopping village, live music, kids entertainment, It’s the largest event of its kind in the South-East if not the UK.
Whilst the rest of the family were enjoying a day out at Festival Of Wheels in Ipswich, Craig was getting ready and setting up for the Festival of Classic & Sports Cars at Helmingham Hall .
The two race cars were heading out (1967 Jaguar E-Type and 1983 VW Golf GTI), along with our current collection of competition cars for all to see! Our part restored 1955 Aston Martin DB2 also got to come for the ride too.
Freddie captured some amazing shots of the day on Sunday which can be seen here.
It was also lovely to see our friends at The Original Friendly Classic Car Group posting some pictures of the day too. Here is a collection from Jake Jacobs.
Thanks also to @orh_official for sharing a lovely shot of our 1967 Jaguar E-Type to his followers. This car received a lot of attention on the day. I guess it’s not too often you see a Volcano Orange E-Type in the flesh!
We also saw a beautiful collection of images from Ruby The Healey
Our good friends Tony and Julie from Wyatt Polishing were also there with Taz!
Keep the pictures coming!
Special thank you to Katy, Sam and the team from Helmingham Hall for organising a brilliant day.
We look forward to seeing you all at next year’s shows!
