The Bridge, the collector car show staged at the golf course on the grounds of the famed and former Bridgehampton Race Circuit on New York’s Long Island, celebrated its fifth anniversary recently with more than 320 vehicles on the fairways overlooking Peconic Bay.
Calling itself “one of the nation’s most original and exclusive annual automotive events,” the exhibition is by invitation only for “rare and storied classic cars.”
One of the show’s original features is the absence of judges or awards.

“A re-imagining of a typical concours event, at The Bridge, there is no judging and no awards,” the organizers report. “The co-founders have a shared vision for the event that is about celebrating art, design, history and automobiles – not about competition.”
In regard to the array of art, design, history and automobiles, vehicles showcased include a trio each of Ferrari GTOs — 250s, 288s and 599 — one model each from the Ferrari Challenge racing series — 348, 355, 360, 430, 458, 488 — “a gathering of Jaguar XJ220s; “the full collection of great Jaguars of yesteryear (XKC, XKD, XKSS)”; a large collection of vintage Lamborghinis, including the Miura, Espada and Jarama; the full collection of modern McLaren Longtails (600LT, 675LT, 765LT), as well as the Senna GTR and Sabre; a gathering of Mercedes 300SL gullwing and roadsters; and “extraordinary Porsches, including speedsters, cup cars, GT cars, 2.7 RSs and two 935s.”
The Bridge is a collaboration involving Robert Rubin, who has owned the property since 1981, and event organizers Shamin Abas and Jeffrey Einhorn. The presenting sponsor is Richard Mille, which unveiled two new automotive-inspired watches at The Bridge — the RM 40-01 Automatic Tourbillion McLaren Speedtail and the RM 029 Automatic Le Mans Classic.
