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.
Today, Craig and Gordon are at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford for the latest auction hosted by H&H.

\rob then clamped the bodywork in place to allow alignment of the internal steel frame. Once he was happy, he started welding it together.
After Tony collected the engine of our 1960 Jensen 541R, Paul fitted the clutch and brake master cylinders to the car. He then cut the heat shield to shape and fitted it to the bulkhead.
Paul went on to prepare the fuel tank before fitting it. The flywheel has also been prepped.
Jonn has been assessing our 1994 Jaguar XJS. Here are his notes:
Get car out from Classic lounge and start inspection. Carry out full inspection. Remove wheels and inspect brakes. Remove nearside rear caliper and turn disc round 1 stud hole to align adjustment hole for handbrake shoes. Reassemble. Adjust rear brakes and test. Refit all wheels and torque up to 95nm. Check and inflate all tyres inc spare. Put new wheel brace in boot with o.e jack. Adjust washer jet aim and test. Top up engine oil and run and check auto gearbox oil level, ok.

Jonn has continued his work on our 1979 Ferrari 400 GT. Here are his notes on what he has been doing:
Start pr3parations for refitting centre console and switches. Tidy wiring and fit new gear selector light. Bulb not working g. Replace bulb and test holder 9ff the car and works fine. Refit. Check fuses and power supply to bulb, no power. All fuses ok spin all fuses in holders and retry. Light works now. Dash lights in cluster appear to not be working but all ok after playing with rheostat. Fit battery from under my bench for now for testing and reassembly purposes. Battery may be physically to big to be a permanent fixture.
Continue to sort and tidy wiring under centre console. Reconnect bulb and holder for ashtray but bulb blown and none in stock. Mount controls to centre console wooden panel. Swap,parts fromnew choke control lever and mount. Start to fit choke cables. Found new piece of cable to use as second cable. Route and mount to,offside bank of carbs and route cable from centre console to nearside bank of carbs. Require bulb so can’t fit centre console yet.
Centre console ready to fit. With John’s help start making all cable connections to centre console. Fit all 4 cables for choke, heater, and both side direction controls for heater. Temperature valve seized but stuck in hot position. Connect all switches and test. All works. Finish fitting centre console and fix in position as best as I can. Continue with ch9ke able set up. Start to make bracket for second choke cable.

The owner of our 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser has been waiting patiently for work to begin on bringing this beast of a car back to life.
Now, finally, space in the workshop has allowed work to begin. After removing the wheel arches, rear bumpers, tailpipe, and fuel filler pipe, it was found there was rot at the rear end of the car as well as on the wheel arches, lower rear corners, and the boot floor.
Now these issues have been found, the vehicle will be prepped ready for welding and, eventually, a new coat of paint.

Our 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 is in the 2+2 configuration, meaning it has a stretched wheelbase and the addition of rear seats. While the standard E-Type was a pure two-seater, the 2+2 was designed with a slightly more practical approach in mind, making it a more versatile choice for drivers who wanted the thrill of driving a sports car but also needed the option to carry passengers—or, at the very least, extra luggage.
The 2+2 configuration involved extending the wheelbase by 9 inches compared to the two-seater model. The addition of rear seats also slightly altered the E-Type’s iconic silhouette, giving it a longer, more elongated appearance.
This particular E-Type has been known to us for several years. The Bridge Classic Cars workshop team have maintained this stunning classic since 2021 and it has always been an admired part of the workshop collection and whoever is lucky enough to win it will have a fantastic classic for long road trips.

Back in September 2021, work began in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop to build our Bridge C-Type replica.

Our 1989 Daimler Double Six recently returned to the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
The owner of our 1964 Morgan 4/4 reported that the N/S wing light wouldn’t tighten up. Steve removed the light and found that the thread on the fixing nut stud had worn causing the nut to slip, so he put braise on both sides of the nut and refitted the light.
