FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 2024
Bridge Classic Cars, an award-winning classic car restoration business, is taking a big step into the world of sustainability by running all of its competition cars on sustainable synthetic fuel. Every week, the Pettistree-based team hold a live draw where one lucky person wins a classic car for just a few pounds and, from now on, every car won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions, will run on synthetic fuel, dramatically reducing its carbon footprint by around 80% compared to traditional fossil fuels.
For Bridge Classic Cars, this move is another demonstration of their commitment to bringing sustainability and future-proofing to classic motoring. The foundation of Bridge Classic Cars is built on bringing cars from times gone by back to life. However, with sustainability coming to the forefront of all industries, this is a huge leap into the future without comprising the cars the team and their customers love so much.
The synthetic fuel, currently provided by P1 Fuels, is a direct replacement of fossil fuel with no engine or vehicle modifications needed. The cars powered by synthetic fuel run in exactly the same way as those fuelled by regular petrol. However, the fuel has a well-to-wheel emission reduction of around 80% when compared to petrol. It also has a shelf life significantly longer than that of petrol so can be a great match for classic car owners who store their vehicles for extended periods of time.
P1 Fuels have already made a big impact on the motorsport scene but Bridge Classic Cars are the first to bring this fuel to the everyday driver.
“We are passionate about keeping classic cars alive for generations to come, but not at the cost of the environment,” says Craig Ranson, Managing Director of Bridge Classic Cars. “By switching to synthetic fuel for all our competition cars, we’re ensuring that car enthusiasts can win their dream car for just a few pounds whilst doing their bit to reduce their carbon footprint.”
Bridge Classic Cars’ decision to run all competition cars on synthetic fuel is part of a larger vision to reshape the future of the classic car industry. By making this change, the company is setting an example for the classic car community and showing that these vehicles which are commonly seen in a negative light in regard to environmental issues, can still be enjoyed in an era that is much more aware of environmental responsibility.
As Bridge Classic Cars continues to champion the preservation of classic cars, synthetic fuel allows them to keep internal combustion engines running responsibly, without compromising on the driving experience.
