Hi from Gloucestershire

Hi guys

Just thinking about either a 05/55 Trophy or a 197 Cup, and wondered what to look out for before buying one? I know about the Trophy dampers needing rebuilding after a while, but anything else??
Ta and looking forward to some b-road driving

Trophy's are awesome cars. I was looking for one too before I got the 182.

As above, whereabouts are you from exactly?

 

[rocky99]

I'm in good old Cheltenham!
Had a test drive in a 197 Cup today and the verdict........I'm in love!!
Awesome car so that's me hooked, just need to get my Golf sold, and then its hello B-roads! lol
Checking out a White one tomorrow, but if no good then its the Grey one I tried today FTW!!
