What the numbers mean
At £9.00 a ticket across 3,000 tickets, this draw has a Value Ratio of 3.38 — fair value. A full sellout returns £27,000 against a stated prize value of £8,000.
Based on tickets sold so far, the current Value Ratio is 0.34 — about £2,700 taken to date. An undersold draw closing soon is where the real odds advantage sits, which is what our value ranking is built to surface.

Prize details from Bridge Classic Cars
Our 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is finished in silver with a contrasting red leather interior, red carpets and a black dashboard. First registered on 18th July 2003, it is part of the R230-generation SL and is powered by Mercedes’ naturally aspirated 5-litre V8, producing approximately 302bhp, paired with a five-speed automatic gearbox.
It has an electrically folding metal hardtop, Active Body Control suspension, electrically adjustable seats, COMAND infotainment and front parking sensors. Its history file contains extensive maintenance and repair records from Mercedes-Benz of Ipswich, Prestige Car Repairs and All In Auto Services, alongside more recent cosmetic work.
The car is accompanied by an extensive history file, which includes details of work completed throughout the car’s life. In August 2018, Mercedes-Benz of Ipswich replaced the SBC hydraulic brake unit. The work included bleeding the hydraulic system, recoding, and testing. Other work that year included replacement of both batteries, the heater blower motor and crankshaft position sensor, as well as some work to the driver’s window and electrical controls.
More recent work includes refurbishment of all four alloy wheels in June 2024, followed by exhaust work. The latest main-dealer invoice, dated May 2026, records a Service A and adjustment of the front wheel bearings.
The car passed its latest MOT on 21st May 2026 with no advisories, so it has a valid MOT until 23rd May 2027.
