Bridge Classic Cars Reviews 93

Love the feel that you get from this company. It’s like a friendly family business that you’re dealing with.
Like the fact that you can see all about the vehicles that are up for grabs and how they’re taken care of.
Keep hoping for a win but hey, it’s only a few quid for a bit of fun.

I stumbled across BCC by accident whilst scrolling and now I'm hooked! I love looking at their ongoing restorations and they strike me as a real old fashioned British cottage industry. Ok, I haven't won anything in the competitions but they do feature some interesting stuff so I'll have a little punt when something interesting comes up just in case! Keep up the good work.

Absolutely brilliant staff to deal with, and after winning a Jaguar mk2 3.4 1965 , can honestly say the help and advice given is a true reflection of their care of the cars and passion , the car won is stunning and could not be happier.

Clearly stated how winner will be chosen and when (online live participation possible)

Update 09-12-2025 I won the TVR!!! However after one week of ownership the car failed to proceed and I ended up spending 3 months and considerable money getting the car up to usuable condition. The company were great to start with however after attempting the get an answer as to how a car failed one week into having it they proceeded to blame me and wouldn't take any responsibility as the part that failed was documented of their page. One in which they didn't fix. I didn't want to post this as I'd have hoped they would've had the decency to contact and help which their garage and main mechanic did. Only explanation given was a supposeded battery which after a week I didn't believe. A TVR specialist then inspected repaired and replaced what wasn't fixed. All of this is documented, he was stunned that such basic maintainence wasn't completed included the car not being serviced for 2 years. Yes you can win your dream car here I did and this hasn't put me off owning this car or even entering competitions as a whole. But please anyone who does enter have your eyes wide open and if you want help don't expect to get it. Maybe that's my mistake. However for a company that prides itself on integrity I was shocked.

No documents like that were given to me as I went through all the paperwork I have last invoice was from 2023 when the car was serviced and some suspension components were changed. I will glady send over the documents I have and the invoices of the money I've had to spend. I tried to deal with this amicablely and without needed to add this to a review. However I believe people that enter your competitions have a right to know. As when I wanted to deal with this with yourselves I was expected to pay alot out of pocket for a car that was broken by a part that was neglected to be fixed that was logged on your own website(fuel pump)
Thankyou Tony who drove 11 hrs to drop the car off to me.

I entered a competition 2 days before the draw, with a 2500 ticket limit. On the morning of the draw, the competition was extended by a week.

Edited to respond - I have the correct company you extended the Boxster draw that I was a ticket holder for - only last month.

Beautiful cars to win, easy to enter, being a mechanic my self I'd love to visit there work shop and see some proper cars like I used to work on instead of the modern rubbish I have to work on now.

Super site with quality vehicles. Smooth and efficient to transact with.

Absolute waste of time and don’t keep up to their promises.

My first conversation with them was on the 15th May where we agreed for them to collect my Rover Mini for a complete check & necessary works done. It was also agreed by the member of staff whom I talked to that we would communicate on WhatsApp (as I live overseas)regarding the progress of work etc etc.

On the 6th of June I got a message on WhatsApp re the collection of my car from my residence between 8-9am. I replied to the message straight away requesting them to collect it between 9-10am as my Mrs does the school run. No reply but message seen. ( blue ticked )
I tried to call few times. No answer

On the 9th I called up the office to check on my status if this was a possibility & the owner ( this is what he said ) commented that we don’t let our staff communicate over WhatsApp. Infact he was the one whom I talked to initially , who put me in touch with his technician & we agreed to have a WhatsApp communication. ( only because I live overseas )

All I wanted to know was if the collection time could be moved by an hour.

Mentioned to the owner that if this is the level of customer communication where I am having to wait for a simple Yes or No answer regarding my collection time , it’s very difficult to do business.

The technician soon called me on WhatsApp & I explained to him everything. He said the collection can be arranged between 9-10am. No problem. He will talk to the office and finalise everything.

After talking to the office he called me back to say that the collection can only be done between 8-9am and that they don’t want to do business with me anymore.

Thanks Bridge for wasting my time. There are plenty of mini restoration specialists whom I personally know and I came to you only through recommendations.

Probably you are judging a book by its cover is what I feel. Not good for any business.

genuine great quality cars up for auction . top company.

This competition site no longer seems to accept Postal entries. This, I believe that this is a legal requirement.
I recently tested this by sending an entry, recorded delivery, for the Land Rover. I know that they received it because they signed for it but no entry was issued.
Before sending I checked and double checked that I had followed all the rules correctly.
It's a shame, they have great prizes but I can't afford to use the paid entry method every time.

UPDATE

Further to my comments above Rob at Bridge has explained how they handle postal entries. Their system is far from clear for customers to negotiate but I now believe that postal entries are being accepted.
Thank you Rob.

Craig , I’m so so sorry . I completely got the wrong company 🤦🏼
I feel so bad bad now, I’m sure your Bridge classic cars are very good .
My sincere apologies

I had one go on one of bridges competitions
So when I filled the form out ..I made sure I didn't tick the box allowing them to send me rubbish...
So I've had 5 or 6 in the last week alone
To each one I've replied saying stop sending me emails..
So feel I need to write this review...

Just wondering it seems to be all men winning.
Never a women don.t women enter your competitions

Bridge haven't posted/notified by email the winner of the Healey 100/6, drawn on 4th August '24, yet. As I entered the draw, I'd like to know! It's now the 11th August!
They usually do. Oversight?

That was easy enough to enter, now comes the tough part….. winning. The car is 9 years older than me and looks in better condition.

Just completed an 800 mile drive home from Pettistree in a newly restored 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500.

This is my fourth nut and bolt concours restoration project with Bridge Classic Cars and undoubtedly the best to date.

16 months work from a rolling shell to what the ex-BL Border Force officer in Folkestone described as 'simply stunning' !

Certainly beyond the standard of OE in Canley 48 years ago.

I am a totally satisfied customer of Bridge Classic Cars and recommend their services to anyone who is serious about total quality. My personal experience is that if you pay less, you will end up paying significantly more, both in money and heartache.

Not impressed with the repeat winner of the Ford cars on the site in the first place but now an unauthorised payment via PayPal of £10 as just gone out of my account for a previously cancelled subscription

Great prizes from a company that is passionate about the past for cars, vans and motorbikes. Meticulous in every detail.

Still waiting to be told that I have won
