Nicely done.
Cheers mate, but in all honesty I would of much preferred to keep the Trophy!
I don't think CSF17 will be the same in the Impreza... 😞

As a sidenote, when was the cambelt last done on the engine from the T? (;
Trophies will always be worth a lot as they are seen as the ultimate car from what was seen as the golden age of hot hatches, where they had large power outputs thanks to modern injection and engine management technology, but were properly lightweight because they didn't have such stringent safety regulations, and drove in a raw, addictive manner.
They are collecting cars, not restoring them.
Some of the people we get in work would not even entertain a car on the non factory spec tyres let alone one that has missed a service or has a non original spec.
We are not dealing with the average car buyer, we are dealing with collectors. The two are worlds apart.
And those collectors are the ones that will pay whatever it takes to get a certain car in their garage.
You're making yourself sound a bit stupid now.The Ultimate car? give over.
They weren't even the ultimate Clio for f***s sake
It was an end of model celebration of what already was a decent hot hatch at the time, they hardly re-invented the wheel with it.
Are people really comparing a Trophy to a Ferrari, Aston Martin or luxury Land Rover?
They really aren't the same.
I just don't see the same people going for a Clio personally, especially a Trophy which was essentially just a lazy limited run model with a few decent bits from the parts bin thrown at it.
If a proper car collector is going to put a early 2000's French Hot Hatch in their collection there's one very obvious thing they will be looking at.
What sort of total trumpet looks past those and decides to spend the same money on this??
This is CS. They'd argue with a plate of beans.A lot of subjective opinions in here are fairly moot. Whether people think a Trophy is or isn't worth £20k is largely irrelevant. Objectively, if one person sells at that price and another buys then that car is worth that much to both of those people. You simply cannot argue against that.
You're making yourself sound a bit stupid now.
The fact that some of these trophy's have sold for £17/18/19k lately proves that people DO want them and are paying that amount.
I'm not entirely sure who you're trying to argue with?

Differing of opinion, merley, oor Daniel.
You really don't like Trophy's do you!?
Is it because...
A. Did one beat you in the 'twisties'?
B. You can't afford one?
C. You hate the colour red?
This list I'm sure could go on, and on!
End of the day it's a bloody awesome version of an awesome car! Regardless of whether it has 'Motorsport Pedigree' or all that other b****cks! Most cars of that type are owned by utter morons that just dream of residual values.
I hope these cars continue to be used as intended rather than wrapped in cotton wool and looked at!

Claiming That a car isn't worth £xyz when one or more has sold for £xyz is arguing with fact.
For the record, I'd rather spend £20k on a decent car rather than a 2.0 clio, but you cannot argue with what's happened.
I'm not arguing that, i'm arguing its ridiculous whether they sell at that money or not.
Did the one in the OP acually achieve that money?
In honesty, its the first i've seen advertised at anything over 10k since someone was pretending to sell theirs, to make a point.
It's changed yeh, weird.Is it me or is the OP link a beemer?
I've just never understood the cult of value that follows them around, it seems to defy logic.
But you just can't can you?but you can make a 182 a Trophy too easily and that's the difference imo.
No offence but I think you think like that because you're poor.A thing that always irked me is car enthusiasts of all makes that boast about low mileage! technically you buy your dream car for example you have always wanted then store it away to look at for years scared to put miles on it, how is that an enthusiast? You would want to drive it as much as you can surely! unless your only interested in future investment which to me is a complete waste of a car, and makes you a collector, cars were made to be driven and enjoyed in my view, not collected and stored away, a real shame.
Valid points there. When I had a slowly rotting r5 in my drive it didn't move for over a year, but every time I saw it I smiled. I aint no millionaire but if I had the cash to buy a car from my past I'd get the best one I could. It wouldn't be my daily but I'd be all warm inside just knowing I had it tucked away.

Its just a red 182 cup with recaro option ticked and nice suspension
and a ###/500 numbered plaque, which of course makes bugger all difference to how it drives, but as much as the naysayers refuse to accept, does make the it a more desirable (and hence more valuable) car to those that want a limited edition version.
How many times?Is it really a 20 grand car???
How many times?
If someone sells and someone else buys, then yes, it is.
But the advert here for a £20k Trophy isn't saying all 500 cars are worth £20k, it's one of them.Sure, I see the people asking that money but I don't see anyone buying, unless the one in the OP magically sold in one day????
My crusty old boxers are worth 10 grand if someone will just stump up the money for it.
and if I follow your logic, just because one car sells at 20 grand doesn't mean other cars are worth that either.
A car (singular) is worth whatever someone will pay for it.
These cars (group of) have a normal price range.
