WIN Our Caterham
October 10, 2024
You have the opportunity to win our 2007 Caterham Seven Roadsport 120 or, for the first time, a cash alternative of £15,000.
Caterham models are known for their interiors being extremely sparse, offering only the essential instruments needed for driving. There’s little in terms of comfort or technology, but that’s by design and is exactly what you would expect from a car meant for a pure and very raw driving experience.
This particular example has been in the ownership of a long-time customer and friend (and former MD of Vauxhall, among other high-profile jobs within the automotive world) of Bridge Classic Cars since 2008, so we know it has been very well looked after. Since arriving at the workshop, we have completed some minor paint repairs and our 2007 Caterham Seven Roadsport 120 is ready to give the lucky winner a driving experience to remember!
You can enter the draw for just £9.00 on the Bridge Classic Cars Competitions website.
