The 2002 Ford Thunderbird is a modern reimagining of a 1950s American classic. With its retro-inspired styling and V8 power, it was designed to capture the spirit of the original Thunderbird while still being very much at home in the early 2000s.

This particular example started life in Connecticut, USA, before making the journey over to the UK in 2009. Since then, it’s been lightly used and well looked after, eventually finding its way to us here at Bridge Classic Cars, where it has been recommissioned and prepared for its next chapter.

Our Thunderbird has a 3.9-litre V8, paired with an automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. This car has a traceable story for large parts of its life, and this could easily be a comfortable and enjoyable daily drive for the lucky winner of this competition.

3.9-litre V8
Practical and usable
Recently recommissioned
Bridge Classic Cars pre-delivery inspection
Up to £250 towards a 12-month insurance policy from insurance specialists, Lancaster Insurance Services
