Back in July last year, David Renn was the lucky winner of our 1997 Rover Mini through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
We recently heard from David who had taken his Mini to a car show in his local area. As you can see from the photos below, not only does the Mini look great, David’s Bridge Classic Cars t-shirt looks very cool too.
We love to see past winners enjoying their classic cars and we hope David continues to enjoy his 1997 Rover Mini.

Fitted – Work on the 1997 Rover Mini
September 7, 2022
The Bridge Classic Cars workshop have been working on the 1997 Rover Mini for its new owner.
The first job was to replace the tie-bar bushes. The old ones had perished and begun to knock slightly so the team have gone through and replaced the old ones with brand new pieces.
The next job was to track down and fix a small coolant leak which the team tracked down to a small cut in a coolant hose which was immediately replaced and the system topped up.
The final job was to solve the slight knock from the front-end which was caused by a worn-out subframe bushing. The team have swapped that our for a brand new piece and secured down, road tested and then given the green light.
Behind the Scenes – Live Draw of the 1957 MG A Roadster & 1997 Rover Mini

Last night the live draw of the 1957 MG A Roadster and the 1997 Rover Mini from Bridge Classic Cars.
The Mini was so popular it had sold out by Wednesday morning!
Going into the live draw though, there were still quite a few tickets remaining on the classic MGA. But, as the live stream began at 7pm on our Facebook page people were still getting their last-minute tickets before the competition closed at 7:10.
As always, the team gave all of our viewers a look around the other classic cars in our new competition building. Including some very special upcoming competitions… make sure to sign up to our mailing list to get the inside scoop on what’s coming!
But, it was time to find out who our very lucky winners were!
As always the entry lists are published beforehand on the website. The Mini list had been up for several days, so as we waited for the MGA list to go live, the team ran the draw for the 1997 Rover Mini.
We use a google random number generator to pick a winner. Hayley at the controls of the laptop, made sure that everything was working just as it should do with a few tests and the commenters gave the team that the stream was coming through nice and clear. So, the team set the numbers between 1 and 3999.
And just like that, the winner had been decided. 2228 – A ticket which had been allocated to David Renn.
As the fate of the Mini was being decided, the entry list for the MG A went live.
Next, we had to find out who had won our amazing 1950s sports car. Not all of the 6666 tickets had sold when the competition closed, so as the team again used the random number generator to find a winner – it took a couple of tries to land on a number which had been allocated to one lucky person.
That happened to be Stephen Walton with ticket number 6294.
We want to wish both winners congratulations on their new dream classics.
