    SACHS DAMPERS REBUILDS

    I sent mine off to Cooksport in Bath who turned around very quickly and offered a powdercoat service, very competitive price too.

    Renault UK selling Trophy 001 and other Heritage Fleet cars

    Working with a few experts in the motor trade, have had a flick through some of the images for this sale and do have some reservations, but in no terms am I saying anything to go against this being a high value, low mileage and collectable example.

    Time to sell?

    Trophy's on 'Collecting Cars'.

    Parts info please

    Hi mate, I did a year long resto of 189 after it was left at a friend's bodyshop for 2 and a half years and came out a little worse for wear. The page below but let me know if you need any help. I did some of the work on a budget, and used Cookesport for the shocks, decent price and turnaround 👍...
