What have children’s books got to do with restoring classic cars?

You have brought to life a classic car older than most people’s grandparents, what relevance does Rilee have in the modern world and what do you want this story to do?

From an idea in Craig’s head, to words on a page, to a video on your screen, this is the story behind the creation of the brand-new children’s character, teaching the next generation of classic car enthusiasts why the cars we love so much are so important now, and in the future.

This is the story behind…The Story of Rilee

TR3A PDI

Jonn has completed the pre-delivery inspection for our 1960 Triumph TR3A. All tyres were inflated to the correct pressure, and the wheels were securely tightened. The vehicle was filled with P1 fuel, and a road test was conducted, confirming that everything was in full working order.

More P4 Repairs

More repairs were carried out on our 1963 Rover P4 by Rob. He has continued his focus on structural areas of the car.

The rear floor and seat base were repaired, ensuring stability and integrity. Attention was also given to the rear wheel arch, with necessary repairs made to restore its shape and strength. Work was then completed on the inner C post to reinforce this critical structural component.

Caterham Project V At Tokyo Auto Salon 2025

The Tokyo Auto Salon 2025, currently being held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City, Japan, has the Caterham all-electric concept car, Project V, on display. Project V is the result of a collaboration between Caterham and XING Mobility

IMMERSIO™ CTP Battery System

Project V uses XING Mobility’s IMMERSIO™ CTP (cell-to-pack) battery system. This technology eliminates traditional module structures, resulting in reduced weight, enhanced energy density, and improved vehicle performance. Key features of the system include:

Lightweight Design: The elimination of the traditional module structure significantly reduces weight while increasing energy density.
High Performance: Advanced thermal management ensures reliability during extreme driving conditions.
Flexibility: A flexible battery design enhances weight distribution and vehicle dynamics.
Space Efficiency: The system fits perfectly within Project V’s streamlined chassis.
Safety: Immersion cooling technology protects against thermal runaway.

Caterham’s philosophy of simplicity and lightweight design perfectly aligns with our vision for innovation, simplicity, and efficiency. We are confident this partnership will open a new chapter for the electric driving experience.”
Royce Hong, Founder and CEO of XING Mobility

“We are so confident that XING Mobility’s immersion-cooled battery technology will be becoming one of the key technologies for battery cooling in the automobile industry in the near future. I am looking forward to further collaboration between XING Mobility and Caterham. It is really exciting.”
Takuya Yamazaki, CEO of Caterham Evo

Project V

After making its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2023, Project V has generated a lot of global interest and looks to be a great example of the future potential of all-electric sports cars.

The car will be on display at Booth No. 703 in East Hall 7.
