Here at the Bridge Classic Cars HQ, we’re very proud of bringing the past into the future with us. Whether its our world classic restorations, our online automotive content or our sustainability drive we keep pushing ourselves harder to make sure that the cars which we, and our clients adore, are round for many more decades.

Much like the World Rally Championships, Goodwood Revival, Vintage Bentley Heritage and most recently Richard Hammond with The Smallest Cog and DRIVETRIBE all working with P1 Fuels along with ourselves to bring a sustainable classic future, we are here using synthetic fuels to keep cars like our 1979 Ferrari 400 on the road with least impact from our workshops. The beauty of P1‘s synthetic fuel is that it is a completely drop in solution with no changes need to make to the car unlike some other products on the market, a perfect solution to an imperfect problem – emissions. So what better way to show our confidence and belief in this technology than running a 4.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 in a classic Ferrari on P1‘s synthetic fuel.

Since introducing P1 to all of our competition cars a few months ago, several of our winners have chosen to take the plunge and join us on our sustainable journey. Others have gone on to use traditional fossil fuels and with P1 being a drop in solution, it doesn’t bother the car one bit. With this, Jon will now PDI the car before it is delivered to its very excited new owner!
