2026 has got off to a very busy start here at Bridge Classic Cars. In fact, it might be even busier than the end of 2025 was!
For those of you who might not know, Bridge Classic Cars is made up of several different parts. It’s all built on the foundation of keeping classic cars on the road, sharing their stories, and helping more people enjoy them. The business covers everything from restorations and servicing to competitions, media, and more. There’s always something happening behind the scenes.
That’s why this monthly newsletter is being launched. Once a month, we’ll give you a little peek into what we’ve been working on across the whole Bridge Classic Cars world. That covers the cars, the people, and the things that happen along the way.
Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to in the first month of 2026.
Workshop
The workshop has been as busy as ever, with a range of restoration and servicing projects making good progress. Multiple eras of automotive history are currently being worked on. The workshop team are caring for an early-1950s MG all the way through to a 2010 Bentley Supersports. It’s an incredible range of vehicles that we’re all lucky to be around every day.
While progress is being made across all of our projects, January has also seen some important milestones reached. Our very special Audi L is now getting closer to returning to the road for the first time in a very long time, and our rare Aston Martin DBS Vantage has continued its journey through the paint shop, ready for the next stage of restoration.
Alongside our full restorations, our continued growth means the workshop team can now take on more servicing and maintenance work, helping to keep classics on the road where they belong.
You can see our full range of current projects here.
Competitions
In January, we found ten more winners of some very special prizes in our competitions. From a 1940s military Jeep to a modern Porsche Cayman, it’s been fantastic to welcome these new individuals into classic car ownership.
Congratulations to:
Edward Nelson, winner of our 1944 Ford GPW

MyClassics
January was the official relaunch of MyClassics, our free-to-use classic car sales platform. It’s designed to make buying and selling classic cars as simple and transparent as possible. There are no fees, no commissions, and no catches.
There’s already a good mix of cars live on the platform. A personal favourite is a 1954 Ford F-100. There’s also a Jaguar Mk1, a Triumph TR6, and a Honda Integra, so there’s certainly something for most tastes.
If you’re looking to buy or sell your car, MyClassics is built to help you do just that completely free.
You can see all of the cars currently for sale here.
Media
January has also been an extremely busy month on the media side of things. Since the latest issue of Driver Magazine came out at the end of last year, there have been so many more interesting automotive stories to share.
We’ve shared stories of everything from Michael Schumacher’s Formula 1 car going to auction to the reveal of a one-of-one Bugatti Veyron. We also took another look at Caterham’s Project V, which is likely to be available very soon, and Jaguar’s new GT has entered winter testing as the brand takes another step into its new electric era.
All of the big automotive news stories from January can be seen here.
As well as automotive news stories, we’ve also continued our Talking Classics series with a great conversation with Simon from Limited100, where we talked about his journey, his business, and the stories behind his automotive art.

Bridge Classic Cars Kids
One of the most exciting things from January has been the development of our Free Theatre in Education school tour. This is a brand-new way we’re bringing Bridge Classic Cars Kids into primary schools across Suffolk.
It’s all based on The Story of Rilee, an original live performance set around a 1905 classic car that’s been brought back to life and now has to learn about the modern world. Presented by our “technicians” Max and Molly, the interactive show mixes storytelling with hands-on learning, encouraging children to explore history, engineering and sustainability in a fun and immersive way.
Running from April, each visit includes:
- A 45-minute live performance designed for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils
- Follow-up workshop activities linked to curriculum themes such as history, design & technology, and environmental responsibility
- Opportunities for pupils to think creatively, ask questions and make connections between the past and their own future role in a sustainable world
Importantly, this programme is completely free to schools, thanks to support from Bridge Classic Cars and our partners.
You can find more information about our school tour and our other child-friendly content here.
