Bridge Classic Cars Avis 

I posted 10 free entries for a car raffle around 9 or 10 days before the closing date. I was careful to ensure that each entry conformed exactly with their comparatively demanding terms and conditions. On the day of the raffle I emailed to ask when the free entries might be applied to my account. I received a reply assuring me that my free entries would be allocated tickets before the draw. Despite that promise, they weren't! Very disappointing indeed! I have since deleted my account

Further to your reply, please describe the process of "redeeming" free entries. I saw no reference to this in my account.

Great competitions! Bot won yet but cars and bikes always look great and there is detail on work done to relevant vehicle.

What made my experience great was the thought of winning that beautiful car, I enter bridge classic car a lot so it’s great

I have entered quite a few of the competitions.
The last one I bought 3 separate tickets.
I only ever got one ticket number.
I have emailed 3 times to raise this.
As yet no response at all.

Very disappointing experience.

I sent a free postal entry for a competition back in March, however this wasn’t processed.

Initially, I put it down to it possibly being lost in the post, so thought I’d give them another try for a different competition.

This time I sent 2 postal entries, both by first class with over a week before competition end date (all their T’s and C’s were followed).

As neither of these were added, I tried to contact them via email before the competition closed as I had not received any confirmation and had not been added to my account, politely informing them I could supply proof of postage if required.

Unfortunately I have been ignored and feel like I’ve had my time completely wasted.

Bridge Classic Cars really need to sort this out.

It’s a shoddy customer experience (stamps aren’t cheap!) and if they continue to fail to add postal entries they are at risk of getting in trouble for non-compliance with the Gambling Commission.

Regardless whether by paid or free entry it needs to be no less convenient for free entry than paid entry route.

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?
