A new children's story follows the adventures of Rilee, a restored vintage car adjusting to the modern world alongside best friends Luxy and Eco.

The big picture: Bridge Classic Cars has launched its first children's story, bringing classic vehicles to life for young audiences through the tale of "a very special (and very old) classic car brought back to life into a very different world from the one it remembers."

Going deeper: The story introduces three distinctive characters: Rilee, Luxy and Eco. "Although all considered classics, the three of them are vastly different from one another as history tells us its story," explains Rob Harvey, Marketing Manager at Bridge Classic Cars.

"One thing they all have in common is that they are all more than capable of navigating their way around life in this fast-paced world we live in today – through innovation and sustainability."

What they're saying: "We want our love of classic cars to continue through future generations," said Harvey. "Each story and every piece of content will be aimed at sparking interest and passion for cars, sustainability, and the history of the automotive industry."

What's next: The story marks the first in a series as part of Bridge Classic Cars' new Youtube channel for children, where classic cars will come to life "in a way children will love."

The bottom line: This heartwarming tale aims to show children that cherished things from the past, like Rilee and his friends, can still play an important role in shaping the future. Enjoy.

Reports have emerged of doorstep traders approaching properties in Rushmere St Andrew, asking residents if they want to sell jewellery items.

Why it matters: Unsolicited doorstep buyers may not offer fair value for items and could potentially be "rogue" traders who disappear with valuables.

Reports have emerged of doorstep traders approaching properties in Rushmere St Andrew, asking residents if they want to sell jewellery itemsIpswich.co.uk

The details: Officials are advising residents to follow three key safety steps if considering selling jewellery:

  • Shop around: Start locally by contacting a reputable jeweller to estimate your item's value before soliciting online bids or other offers.

  • Beware 'rogue' buyers: Exercise caution about whom you sell to. If you must leave jewellery with someone for a quote, ensure they're trustworthy and will be available when you return.

  • Read the small print: Check terms and conditions carefully, paying attention to potential hidden charges such as refining fees, postage fees and appraisal fees.

What to do: Report any concerns with traders to Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133.

The bottom line: Getting multiple valuations from established local jewellers before considering doorstep offers helps ensure residents receive fair value for their items.
