The Bridgell Talon is the pinnacle of Bridgell’s tecnology development. A no compromisses supersport capable of carring all your worries away with a single throtle smash. There’s two versions , the 1000BX, packing 1000hp of pure enjoyment:
This is the Bridgell Supergrass, our standart 13 hp lawn mower. Pretty handy on any terrain. Lock the diffs to simulate a real pulley drive lawn mower.
The Orchid Lilium 8.32 is a premium sedan, great to transport your kids due to the MV Design TG2 sourced engine, a flat plane twin turbo V8 that on this version, received a cross plane crankshaft, and swapped the turbos for a silent exhaust. STILL it’s a TG2 Sourced engine, so BRAGGIN’ RIGHTS. This version had a heavy oversteer at speed problem even being FWD, with had spawned a recall, and was solved on the Phase 2 car released the year after. Have I mentioned that the rear wing is retractable? There’s a slot for it on the tailgate, and it automatcally comes out at 100km/h.
Here’s a obscure classic, produced only because we could. We partner with Haulers, to bring you the Bridgell-Haulers Roadster, a american take on a european classic. And of course it have a V8, why you ask?
Ready for a huge dose of nostalgia? This is the Bridgell Praga, buit by the gasmean arm of Bridgell to fight the recently anounced oil crisis. Since it was developed the cheapest way possible , it’s a tiny and HEAVY lader chassis, solid axle car, barelly moved by its strangled 2 liter I4 on the LS version shown below:
There was also a Turbo version, with a 2.2, obvioulsy turbocharged, and nicer suspension, interior, spoilers and all the chrome accents Painted Black. Still pretty slow. Also: POP UP HEADLIGHS. How cool is that?! Even trough they offer NO performance improvement. But now you have something to fiddle with on red lights.
LPE made a performance package for the Deity, in two stages.The Hurricane kit offers a 1900cc engine, with 40’s marine origins, a lightly retuned suspension and new rear end gears. Only exterior feature is a new front badge.
Here’s another model from our lovery british mad folks. In 1997, Bridgell released, under it’s luxury brand, Orchid, the Belmond. It aimed at the selected clients with the most refined taste for luxury, sporting a silky smooth V12 under the bonnet, mated to a even smoother electronically controled gearbox, with AWD, so there’s nothing that can prevent you from reaching anyone’s manor. The back heated seats recline and slide back and forth, and also feature massagers. Most of the conforts from a high class hotel room can be found inside. The cabin is fully soundproof, including electromagnectic/vacuum operated door latches, so all the moments inside it can be lived in absolute silence. A high tech, fully adaptative suspension guarantees the smoothest ride possible, and to top it off, you can take your designer trimmed fur children with you, on a practical and luxurious compartment on the rear. The production was limited to 100 vehicles a year, and all the colours and textures inside and outside were fully customizable. It’s trully how peak land travelling looks and feels like. The model lasted untill 2007, when a new, even more luxurious and confortable sucessor was released. 897 units of this rare pearl were made, and most of them are still selling in auctions for about the same, or even more than the 200.000,00 G$ they were worth new.
Recently I’ve set out to remade one of my first cars, and the first Bridgell car I’ve designed. The 1997 Bridgell Cammommilla. Now less unsightly and with actual specs! It’s packing a 83 hp 1.4 engine, mated to a 5 speed transmission. Pretty basic stuff but it’s a 995 kg car, so it doesn’t need much to get you around town. Also the upper rear window is not an actual window like that other car, it’s a black painted piece. You’re not that fancy. Of course, it was based on that first small modern car from that upper class manufacturer that was a massive flop, so don’t expect much more than that here.
Starting in 1980, Bridgell Motor Company started selling, with great success, the Bridgell Buccanneer. It was an RHD version of the Bogliq 830B Buccanneer, built in CKD with the RHD components being made in the UK by Bridgell.
Two special versions of this car were also sold, known as Bridgell Buccanneer Stage 1, sporting a retuned V6 engine, sportier suspensions and a wild bodykit:
And Bridgell Buccanneer Stage 2, this being limited to 80 cars, all having their twin-turbo DAOHC V6 engines hand-built in the USA, and including a travel ticket there for the new owner to learn how to not die driving this beast.
All UK cars also received a coat of galvanization on all steel parts and similar rust treatments on other parts to survive the harsh environment, and a great amount of them are still on the road today!
Also, the first Stage 2 RHDcar, id UK-00, is still in great shape at our museum, still sporting the special paint job made to celebrate the release, displayed along with other historical Bridgell cars.
