Just checked the owners register on www.cliotrophy.co.uk - for all your Trophy needs! and it's not been registered on there.

 

[Da]

can't believe that's salvage, gotta be sub £2k damage, how can that not be an economical repair?? :S

 

[Day]

New bonnet, wing and headlight assembly I reckon.

 

[Da]

yeah and they're not even xenons so cheap as chips! :appove:
bumper looks like a bit of a PC would sort it, can't see any cracks/splits.

 

[nathanl]

tempting!

 

[msa197]

No aerial:S , so may not have the radio?

Looks like a bargain for somebody . It really does look like that there's minimal damage .

 

[Fletcher]

Oh no not another damaged trophy.

 

[azzer2000]

looks like theres a chunk out of the front splitter

 

[lemonnobby]

as fred said somethings bent when you view the pics of front wheel, on that site you can see the steering wheel and it points oppisite to what the wheel is.

 

[Day]

Yep - this picture shows.

Don't you hate it when people mis-advertise something :grr:

edit: Could it not be the steering lock position??

 

[donofkarma]

The steering wheel is turned to the left and the alloy looks like it's pointing to the right...... Very dodgy if you ask me.

If no-one buys it will the strip it for spares?

 

[azzer2000]

dont wory someone will buy it, do it up and then sell it at a profit, so stay away from number 96 whatever it is

 

[lemonnobby]

no not the steering lock position lol. something bent back of the wing dented as well.

 

[Ad]

yeah the thats got quite a bit of 'hidden' damage....

odd that its not recorded as well. Wouldnt trust them on that either.

 

[Giles]

that front suspension is bent, look at the wheel!!

Yep you right

 

[Day]

no not the steering lock position lol.

It is trust me!!

I'll bet my granny on it

Nothing wrong with that picture, my steering wheel is in exactly the same position out on my drive!!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

It says it starts and drives ! Unless it only drives round in circles , lol . Why would it be unrecorded ? If its been written off you would think it would be recorded .

 

[Nik]

Nothing wrong with the steering. As others have said, the steering lock is on thats all.

Here's mine parked on the drive now, wheels straight.

yeah bit on yours nik the wheel looks to the left, on ebay one, the steering lock is too the left and the wheels look ever so slighty to the right.

Warranty will sort that out anyway.

Is it not at all possible that the wheel was turned to the right and then the lock applied?

I've just done this to my car to check - does this mean my steerings fucked? lol

So many doubters these days!

 

[Revels]

Ive just bought it, steering is fine!

 

[Maz]

Imho you can't really tell a great deal from pics anyway, would need to see the car to assess the full damage etc, anyone who knows anything about cars when they see it in the flesh will notice if there is a suspension problem or not

 

[Kinsella]

slam panel looks bent to me.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. You'd definitely need to go and have a good butchers at it, with someone in the know, to try and find out exactly what's damaged and what's not.

 

[lemonnobby]

yea but the wheels would still point the same way as the steering wheel even if the steering lock was on.

No it doesnt - go see for yourself mate!

Turn the wheels so the wheels are slightly to the right. Apply steering lock by turning to the left.

head bang wall

I want it, anyone want to buy my car???
