182 Trophy do I sell

[Alex82]

Back in the 2000,s Worked for Renault for 10 years watching the 182’s roll off production, never saw a trophy come my way. One day I see a trophy pop up for sale in my area had the cash was a good price, so excited didn’t even try knock him down so bit his hand off.
The next day he asked if he could buy it back and was a bit tearful. Obviously I said no.
Getting it ready for the next owner. Cambelt was done 10k 6 years ago. But slapping a new one on today! aux belt all tensioners, idlers, water pump, all fluids changed, full detail the works. Whatever needs doing will be done.
It’s done 55k miles, plenty of paperwork, I’ve put countless hours into it and getting it as perfect as can be

I’m reluctant to sell (who wouldn’t be) my question is… is it the right time to sell? how much are they currently worth?
I was surprised to see we buy any car offering £10k thought they might offer £2k

@SharkyUK is your man for Trophy info and current prices 👍

Does it still have the Sachs shocks and when were they last refurbished? Affects values quite a lot, even though that car screams garage queen/collectors piece at that mileage.

Trophy Sales on Collecting Cars

We could look to make a separate thread for other platforms / auction sales etc - similar to this for the CC records - in the Clio Trophy Discussion forum section, what do you think Nick? :) (y) On the Mk1 Mini forum I frequent, we have two different threads; "At the Auctions" - which is self...

Have a read through the recent pages on that thread. Gives a good idea of current pricing (which has always tended to be a bit erratic).

55k miles, in good condition & history, with all the right bits on. You’re talking bottom line £15k upwards currently.

If you don't need to sell I'd hold on to it if you're able to keep on top of the maintenance. The value is only going one way.

The one at £17k had 50k miles and the one at £16k had 50k miles, so yeah you'd be looking at £15k plus on the right day.

Buyers premium also needs adding to those CC prices… 😉

Yeah but that's no concern to the seller.

The 17k car sold this week had 40000 miles and was a 1 owner car -

Have you any pictures of the car that you could post - also what number is it ???

Still have the Sachs they have been refurbed and boxed, and put the cup suspension on. She is number 328. Just replacing the cambelt on it this weekend detecting a slight leak from the rocker cover so might as well seal that up while I’m on it. Want her back to just rolled out of dieppe look gone super ocd and cleaning every part up as I go. Not urgent to sell as I can garage her up. Only pressure to sell is from the missus but I know 328 is a better ride and cost less to maintain.

Definitely 328? Will probably be worth a bit less as previously written off.

 

[NickReilly063]

I was just going to ask that question too

As above, #328 appears to have been written off very early in its life. Subsequently, it was repaired and returned to the road in 2006.
