Helmingham Hall Classic & Sports Car Festival 2022

This Sunday, the Bridge Classic Cars team were at the Helmingham Hall Classic & Sports Car Festival 2022.

The team had set up our stand the day before and carefully positioned our collection of competition and restoration cars to show off to everyone walking past.

Our stand was instantly busy as the gates opened at 10 am on Sunday. Crowds and lines of people waiting to get their tickets for our competition cars or to talk to the team about a project they have. In front of us, the rows of concourse cars laid out an incredible sight.

From an original Lamborghini Countach Anniversary to an Mk2 Jaguar with a leopard print interior. Included in those rows of incredible machinery was a 1960 Jensen 541S – It was Peony Red, the car we had restored for its proud owner on display and mentioned as a finalist in the Best in Show later that day.

In the multiple fields and paddocks, all manner of cars were on show. From new supercars to rarely seen and incredible classics from every corner of the automotive world. There was also amazing food, dancing, bands and stands for everyone to look at.

Families lined the shaded driveway, nestled under a long row of oak trees as the sun grew higher throughout the day as the concourse cars would do their exhibition runs. Filling the Suffolk countryside with every type of engine noise imaginable.

At the Bridge Classic Cars stand, the line of people didn’t stop. We love seeing our friends, new and old, so it was always a pleasure for the team to have a chat and enjoy the atmosphere.

As the afternoon went on, it was time to do our annual live draw from the Heveningham Hall Classic & Sports Car Festival. This time, it was for our beautiful 1971 MG B Roadster.

Molly and Freddie went live on our Facebook page to find out who the lucky new owner of the classic sports car. With the tickets having sold out several days before and the entry list being live, it was time to fire up the Google Random Number Generator. As Molly and Freddie hit the button, the future of the MG B was decided. The winner was Richard Hancox with ticket number 1027.

Drive It Day 2022 – Kersey Mill

All of the team at Bridge Classic Cars love our vintage and classic cars and motorbikes. That’s what sits at the core of what we do here. So, we always try to observe Drive It Day. And international day to celebrate the joy of getting out and driving our beloved classics.

For many years, we have gone to the Kersey Mill meet. And this year, our director Gordon took his newly finished 1934 MG Midget PA to the 2022 Drive It Day meet. Surrounded by countless classics from across our area, some of whom we know well and others we’re excited to get to know.

It is an event on the calendar that we always look forward to. So, take a look below for our full gallery from the 2022 Drive It Day at Kersey Mill.

Open Morning: Saturday 4th January

It is our pleasure to invite followers and friends of Bridge Classic Cars to our New Years open morning. The event is hosted at the Bridge Classic Cars hangar showroom.

Our hangar is located within RAF Bentwaters, Rendlesham. The private showroom will be opened up for this event between 9am-12pm on Saturday 4th January and is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded automative enthusiasts. As well as seeing some of our fascinating restoration projects.

We also expect there to be other classic and interesting vehicles brought along on the day by car club members. We would like to stress that there is absolutely no obligation to bring along your own pride and joy that may well be tucked away for the winter! Should you be willing to brave the cold, we would of course love to see and hear about your own classic and interesting vehicles.

We are aiming to create a morning with a friendly atmosphere, to meet and share our passion with like-minded vehicle enthusiasts. We have invited a select audience of East Anglia’s car clubs to this open morning.

Teas, Coffee and light refreshments will be provided and admittance is free of charge.

To confirm your attendance or if you have any queries, we welcome you to email freddie@bridgeclassiccars.co.uk

Please see below for directions:

When you drive through security at Bentwaters, go straight, towards the airfield. At the end of the T-junction there will be signage leading you to our hangar.

From the A12 take the A1152 to Rendlesham, and you’ll see Bentwaters Parks is off Rendlesham roundabout (IP12 2GJ). Come through the security gates and at the end of the T-Junction please turn right. Then, follow the road round Bentwaters until you see aircraft hangers. The Bridge Classic Cars showroom is the second hangar on the right.

(If using Sat Nav please use IP12 2GJ to find the Bentwaters entrance. IP12 2TW is the postcode for Bentwaters but will send you to a rear gate. If you find yourself in the rear gate follow the narrow lane onto the airfield’s main road, turn left on the main stretch. Our hangar will be on your left.)
