Good luck in the auction! I think it should do well, but I also don't think the 197/200 has the following of the 172/182 in my opinion. If it doesn't sell, I will be in touch.

Was fun attending my first Cliosport meet in about a decade. Shame I couldn't bring my Trophy along, but nice to get my photos posted ;) Cheers, Rob

That's weird, I got a Chrome notification for this - pretty sure Cliosport c.2003 did not offer such technology. So thanks @Gally and thankyou @terryc101 for considering it worthy of this thread (I know it is, but I try and be self effacing occasionally). Strangely, my missus only swapped it...

Bit of an update as a year has gone very quickly! The car now has most of the things discussed: the Sabelt steering wheel, custom Bilsteins by Pure Motorsport (with top mounts) and a half cage fitted by Mark Fish Motorsport. I've not been too precious with it, but I ordered a spare set of...

Had it a few months now!

Great video - is videography your trade then?

Nice to see there are a few mad folk out there. I started a thread on creating - effectively - brand new 182s! I've had a lot of interesting conversations with people, and there is a lot of enthusiasm out there... so you're definitely not alone. I have actually been mad enough to buy a couple...

Excellent photos. I made it too, albeit on the Sunday. Here are a few of mine. www.instagram.com/rob__fenn

I'm going! Will be good to meet you guys - will be my first Cliosport meet in about a decade! Check out my Instagram - I'll be taking my camera so your cars will likely make it on there. https://www.instagram.com/rob__fenn/

Funnily enough, I own a Huracan Performante and forged carbon was something I was thinking of as making a feature point. Is your guy UK based? I know of a very good place in the USA, and am getting some bits for my Lamborghini because a) I want more carbon and b) to assess it's quality. Thanks...

This looks fantastic!

Nice driveway! I am picking my 70th Anniversary V8 Defender soon - can't wait! The UP is a funky looking thing. For me, the 182 is a better base. But just as importantly, it has credibility and - for me personally - it's a nostalgia thing as much as anything.

Totally get that, but this isn't designed for me people with one car - it's not meant to a case of "I'd rather have a...".

Already on the case for this, BTW. The Recaro Trendline people refer to is actually a Style Trendline. There is a Style Topline that can be specified - from Recaro - with ventilation and heating. It also just so happens it comes in the same pattern that Renault specified for the Trophy. ?

Funny you mention the orange dials @Rob , where it's getting darker earlier now I drove the Trophy the other night and smiled at that warm orange glow within the otherwise pitch black cabin (forgot that the heater dial isn't illuminated). I personally love the nostalgia, and personally don't...
