Last pics of my Trophy

[keo]

Sold my Trophy last month, here are the photos i took after a wash and wax i was going to use for the pistonheads advert. I sold it without advertising it though which was nice.

Stunning. Do regret selling?

They do scrub up well, it looks lovely!

Was it standard, and what was the mileage? What made you sell and what have you up/downgraded to?

Such a lovely car. Shame you sold it.

In a way i regret selling but i had it four years and fancied a change but i thought about keeping it forever at the end of the day its only a clio with fancy dampers and seats. I am buying my first house so the decision was made to sell when my dad said i could have his car. (Silver volvo, you can see it in one of the pics.) as he had a new car. The fact i didnt need to advertise it and i got a fair price worked in my favour to sell it as well.

I thought it was a sensible and right thing to do at the time. Only mods were a pro speed exhaust, brembo discs and 2500 pads. It had done 51k miles, fully maintained and looked after.

So gone from that to a boring Volvo estate, but i do plan to get a toy now i have a big garage will be in 12 months or so give me time save up and get the house sorted. Quite fancy a Caterham R300/ Superlight to keep in the garage. As i wont need pratical if i keep the volvo. Always fancied a Porsche as well.... Just depends how much offshore work i do next year. Cheap dc2 or mx5 might tide me over on the fun stakes and not cost the earth while doing the house up. So in honesty i realy dont know what is next! Always looking on pistonheads, but the house will take priority for now.

Didnt realise i had typed this much, sorry for rambling on!

Good job on the selling without advertising, looks like a lovely example.

Best of luck with the house purchase!

Selling a Trophy is a sad time, miss mine

 

[Fletcher]

Nice trophy.

Heres hoping i'll never have to sell mine

Looks really nice. Go on treat your self to that porshe!

 

[Crybert]

I'm possibly going to have to sell mine too! For possible house purchase too but I'd much rather keep it. Im
rather attached to it now even if it is a clio!

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Very nice that mate, shame you had to sell but needs must.

A Caterham wouldn't be a bad replacement tbf though!

 

[Chi]

Looked a nice example. .. id of kept it as I doubt it would go down in value. . Can I ask what it sold for? ?

Whats the mileage and conditions of both of yours?

Personally I still think there is more movement to come on the Trophy and the 182, for the next couple of years at least. Which is a shame!

 

[Saamm93]

Whats the mileage and conditions of both of yours?

58K, its currently at 75%, got a few bits a lacquer peel to sort out and 2 wheel refurbs before its done...

 

[Crybert]

Whats the mileage and conditions of both of yours?

56k, perfect

Randomly came across this 11 years later. Iv not been on here for years! I still miss my trophy! Shouldn’t have sold it. I saw it up for sale a few months ago I’d of loved to buy it back but it had been messed with track spec etc

I'd sell mine to you if you want one back? Has 44k miles, original spec apart from exhaust and retrimmed stering wheel. Incredible history and condition. I want to buy an alpine instead.

You'd need 25k+ to tempt me.

Thanks but to me they just aren’t worth it. I paid £7k for me with about 20k on years ago. Had my fun. Yes they are rare and special car but £25k, come on!

My useage has changed as well I do 20k a year in a boring diesel. But I have an Exige 410 Anniversary in the garage as a toy. If Trophy’s were sensible money I’d buy one just for nostalgia but they aren’t and iv been there and done it.

I miss mine but the 172 cup is the better car, don’t know why, just is.
