Hi - I’ve gone back to his ad about 10 times and almost messaged. The only thing stopping me is another Trophy with 155k miles in great shape and lots of positive spend etc sold last week for just under £7k (the one on PH). I was talking to the owner but too slow. Also looked hard at the...

Thank you for sharing. Only my opinion, but I think £9.5k is pretty strong money for that car based on what I read from your posts. Good car but thought the auction bid first time was pretty fair. I will watch for second auction though 👍

Hello For the longer term forum members I may be remembered, over the years having owned and enjoyed 3 Trophy now. All have made way due to family, house projects or other cars to try over the years .. but now the big “humps” in life are in order, and I’m looking for a Trophy once again. This...

Appreciate this post is a few months old. Unsure if it progressed, but can I add myself to the list. A Trophy is a WIP but I’d horde the part either way

Not a “flipper” but am looking for a Trophy if you want to discuss at any point. thank you

“Wait until the service bill comes through - rolex's aint cheap lol.... rather be stung with an engine change bill lol” Not sure I’d agree, rolex service recommendation is every 10 years if worn daily, is optional, and costs about £400-500. Think engine change be more disruptive..but fair enough!

I agree CC is a good benchmark of real world prices, because it’s published/open market and actual sales. I have looked back for my own interest, without digging into each listing (but will be difference in ownership etc) but all appear well presented cars; 61k miles - £12.2k 94k miles - £8.2k...

“An Exige is in my “garage” of cars I’d really like to have and a while back was looking at a powder blue S Sport. It would of meant selling the T which was a tough choice, I bought the 5GTT in the end and still have both.” I remember a way back on the forum you were looking at a R5, great...

Bump

Really kind thank you. Took a LONG time to get into a position to be able to get them both. The V12 is just magic, and yep a manual ?

I think the RAF gave up Bicester to the Heritage team along time ago so not too worried

They are great, mines with me permanently too. I have a gap for a little red car then I’ll have my perfect 3 car garage

Very nice ?, wonderful things Lotus.

You know where I am Tony .. oh we have more than Rolex in common.. yellow Lotus too.. here’s mine ?

Hey Hoolio, you’re only just up the road from me, I often used to see you in the mornings going the opposite way to me on route to work in your Trophy.. you’re always welcome to drop it off ???
