The vendor states it runs very smoothly, shifts cleanly, and is great fun to drive
The Appeal
The Pilgrim Bulldog Sports is a characterful British kit car that channels the spirit of open-top motoring in a lightweight, engaging package. Built on proven mechanical underpinnings, these cars offer an accessible and entertaining route into classic sports car enjoyment, with a focus on driving pleasure over complexity.
This 1980-registered example is built upon Ford mechanicals and has been part of a private collection in dry, covered storage. It benefits from a recently fitted new soft top and freshly upholstered seats, rear bench, and door panels, lending the interior a refreshed feel. Being sold as the vendor is dissolving their collection for health reasons, this Bulldog Sports presents a ready-to-enjoy proposition for those seeking open-air fun.20260531_095905 Thomas Jungmann.jpg4.99 MB
