Bell Sport & Classic Cars + Coffee Kicks Off the 2026 Season in style
Saturday, 14th March. Bell Sport & Classic welcomed enthusiasts, owners, and friends for the first Cars + Coffee meet of the 2026 season – and what a way it was to start the year.
Kicking off with an early run to Caffeine & Machine’s Bedford site, The Bowl, where coffee and breakfast fuelled lively conversation among a fantastic collection of cars followed by a scenic run back to Bell Sport & Classic’s Hertfordshire headquarters, where the event continued with a full-site open day.
By the time everyone arrived the site was already lively and by mid-morning there were more than 100 cars on site, creating an impressive and varied display to enjoy.
Throughout the afternoon guests caught up with old friends, met plenty of new faces, and enjoyed fresh coffee and artisan pizza while exploring the cars and the facilities. The mix of machinery on show perfectly reflected the passion that brings the community together — from beautifully preserved classics to modern performance icons. With great weather, an incredible turnout and a brilliant mix of cars, the event proved the perfect way to kick off the 2026 car season.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — we’re already looking forward to the next one.
