The BSA 'Golden Flash' is a British motorcycle that was the first model in the A10 series. Manufactured by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), the Golden Flash was introduced in 1950 and continued production until 1963. 

The 1960 model featured a 646cc air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine capable of producing around 35 horsepower. This engine was paired with a four-speed gearbox, allowing the bike to achieve impressive speeds for its time, often exceeding 100 mph. 

The frame was a duplex cradle design, which enhanced the bike's handling and stability. The suspension system, consisting of telescopic front forks and a rear swingarm with twin shock absorbers, offered a smooth and comfortable ride.

Our 1960 BSA A10 'Golden Flash' has been part of our own collection for a little while but now, it's time for it to find a new home with our next lucky winner.

Since 1966, Hethel (a quiet part of Norfolk) has been home to the development of some of the most exciting and innovative cars of our time.

The Bridge Classic Cars team have organised a very special trip to Hethel to experience, first-hand, what goes on at the @grouplotus factory. You will get to see the entire production process up close as well as pay a visit to the test track where the Lotus cars are signed off as ready to go.

We will tour the factory, led by a knowledgeable Lotus product specialist to see the end-to-end build process, from bare chassis to completed sports car. We will then head to the local pub, The Bird in Hand for lunch and drinks.

After lunch, we move on to a tour of Classic Team Lotus – a bespoke operation just across the road from the main Lotus HQ, it’s a separate business that’s dedicated to preserving and promoting the Lotus racing legend.

This is a fantastic opportunity to see a unique collection that includes some of the most historically significant race cars ever.

The 1986 Bertone X1/9 is a classic sports car created by Italian companies Fiat and Bertone. First released in 1972 under the Fiat marque, the car was later produced solely by Bertone from 1982 to 1989.

Known for its sharp, angular look and targa top, the X1/9 has a distinct style that reflects the trends of the 1970s and 1980s. Its mid-engine layout, common in high-performance cars, provided excellent balance and handling. The 1986 model featured a 1.5-litre inline-four engine and a five-speed manual transmission, offering a fun and engaging drive.

Bertone's focus on detail is clear in the car's build quality and finish. The interior, though small, was designed for driver comfort. Its lightweight design contributed to its agility and quick response on the road.

The 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 Mille Miglia is an easily recognisable British sports car known for its performance, style, and racing history. Part of the popular Healey 100 series, the "100/6" name indicates the car's 100 mph top speed and six-cylinder engine.

Introduced in 1956, the 100/6 featured a 2.6-litre straight-six engine, which provided 117 horsepower and improved performance compared to its four-cylinder predecessor. This made the car smoother and more powerful, making it a favourite for both road races and rallies.

The Mille Miglia edition is particularly famous. The Mille Miglia is a tough 1,000-mile race in Italy, and the 100/6 was specially prepared for it. Enhancements included better suspension, a stronger chassis, and aerodynamic tweaks to handle the race's challenges.

Visually, the 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 Mille Miglia is a classic example of British sports car design. It features a long front end, wire-spoke wheels, and a simple, driver-focused interior. Its low, sleek shape and smooth lines reflect the style of the time beautifully.

Our 1958 Austin Healey 100/6 Mille Miglia was originally supplied to a dealer in America. Back then, it was Ivory White and Black over a Black interior. When the car returned to the UK, in the 1990s, it underwent some restorative work and was finished in Blue over Old English Cream - the undeniably recognisable Austin Healey colours.

The UNIMATIC x Morgan watch is the first collaboration between these two well-known brands. The U2-MMC has a sporty blue glossy soleil dial which is perfectly complemented by glossy cool grey Morgan-inspired closed second rail and dial trims, ghost ladder phantom hands, and a copper-finished reverse lollipop second hand with a glossy cool grey tip.

The watch comes with two straps made from the same leather found in the interior of the Morgan Super 3, Plus Four, and Plus Six. The primary strap is a two-piece design made from biscuit pebble leather, with an additional two-piece strap, in black pebble leather.

Both straps feature stainless steel brushed hardware, signed by UNIMATIC, highlighting the bespoke nature of Morgan’s craftsmanship and UNIMATIC’s commitment to quality.

The case back is engraved with the phrase “Seek the road less travelled” and includes an individual example number - in this case, number 48 out of 80 produced.

Our 1981 Austin Vanden Plas has been generating quite a stir on our social media channels. Some of the comments are positive, some are not so positive, and others are just a bit silly.

Nick read some of the comments to Molly and filmed her reactions to each one.

On Friday night, we celebrated the opening of The Classic Lounge, the home of the exclusive members’ club by Bridge Classic Cars. The event, held in The Classic Lounge itself, right next to our workshop, was a complete success. From the moment guests arrived, when they were greeted with a glass of champagne, there was an atmosphere of class, style, and exclusivity that made for a truly unforgettable evening.

As soon as our guests arrived, all of whom had been personally invited, they were met with our 1905 Riley 9HP, the only one in existence. After a quick photo opportunity with a car that genuinely changed automotive history, they walked through the main doors and into the heart of The Classic Lounge.

Our 1989 Daimler Double Six is a luxury classic that perfectly displays the best of British automotive design. Made by Jaguar under the Daimler name, our Double-Six combines style, class, and great driving performance.  Its "Double Six" name refers to the car's 5.3-litre V12 engine, which makes sure you have all the power you need to move this beast of a vehicle.

On the outside, our Double Six features a recognisable design with a long bonnet, a distinctive Daimler grille, and the elegant lines that beautifully emphasise its luxury character. The chrome accents and classic styling give it a sophisticated look that is certainly pleasing to the eye.

Inside, our 1989 Double Six is all about luxury and comfort. The interior features high-quality leather seats, rich wood finishes, and advanced features for its time. The spacious cabin ensures a comfortable ride for both the driver and passengers, making it perfect for long journeys or quick trips out.

This car has been with us here at Bridge Classic Cars for a while as part of our collection. During this time it has undergone various repairs and improvements and its now ready for a new home.
