FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Suffolk-based classic car restoration specialist Bridge Classic Cars has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Innovation category of the RAC Historic Awards 2025, in recognition of its educational sustainability initiative, Bridge Classic Cars Kids.
Launched in late 2023, Bridge Classic Cars Kids was created to engage children and families with automotive history and to demonstrate how classic cars can have a place in a sustainable future. The programme uses online stories and videos, and has plans for a school tour in the early part of 2026.
Bridge Classic Cars’ nomination is significant as, not only has the restoration company won awards for its restoration and sustainability work already, but it is now being recognised for its efforts to widen the appeal of classic motoring to younger and more diverse demographics. In doing so, the company is challenging stereotypes about classic-car culture as having a narrow enthusiast base, and moving the conversation toward sustainability and engagement across generations.
The winners will be announced at the RAC Historic Awards, which takes place in November at the Royal Automobile Club’s Pall Mall building. Regardless of the outcome, Bridge Classic Cars sees the shortlisting itself as a powerful recognition of its approach and a sign to continue in its development and growth of sustainability initiatives and educational outreach.
End.
