    I’m back and with a few Renault bits

    After passing custody of the Trophy on a few months ago I’m back into a car with a nod to the Clio by way of the strange stalk on the right hand side of the steering column. Yes the £60k Alpine A110 has the quirky volume and channel change stalk which I could never figure out on the RS200 Clio...

    Alpine A110 owners ?

    I think there may be a couple of Alpine owners on here, I’m interested to keep something French in the garage and looking seriously at one of these. Looking for any informed insight into ownership, models, spec, issues etc

    A couple of bits left

    I’ve put the bits that haven’t sold here into the 182 FB sales group but thought I’d offer these last couple of bits here first. A genuine Renault 2 part touch up kit. I’ve never used it but I’ve opened it and the paint is nice and fresh. I think these are out of production now. £12 posted Set...

    Trophy feature magazines

    Ive got a collection of magazines to sell. They are what I have collected during ownership. They go back to the first features on the Trophy in Evo and Autocar back in 2005. 14 magazines in total. I would like £28 for them ie £2 a magazine which I think is a fair price I would like to try...

    #449 off to pastures new

    That's it - my period of Trophy ownership has ended today. I have owned the car 7 yrs and in that time prepared it to outstanding condition but only done 1800miles in it. Its gone to a new owner who I know will get full enjoyment from it and hopefully get a few more miles on it than Ive done. Im...

    The spam bombing is a bit worrying

    I’m guessing it’s not easy to prevent but it is a bit annoying unless you are interested in buying whatever it is these clowns are selling, who is xzsalma88 anyway 🙄🙄

    Two interesting £16k cars on AT

    I’ve just done a little scan in autotrader and spotted the 2 cars at £16k ish both similar mileage but night and day in terms of preparation. One lazily presented with dirty mats and water marks all over the place and the other nicely detailed. A suggestion for Paul Blaney Motors - send your...

    Guys I’m putting #449 up for sale

    After months of deliberation I’ve decided to offer the car for sale. I’ve owned it since 2015 and the history and work on the car is well documented on this site. Im not touting it for sale on any other pages or auction sites as I want the car to go to a Trophy enthusiast. Likewise if it...

    Facebook Trophy page - what happens to folk !

    Now I’m presuming that most of the people on the FB Trophy group will be on here and possibly vice versa so what is it about FB that turns people into idiots. Is it the instant conversation element of it that enables people to launch into a response without engaging their brain. I don’t know...

    Would you swap for a Williams

    I keep hovering over these. I’ve never driven one nor actually seen many in the flesh and I think the reality is you have to pay a fair old wedge to get something nice. It seems like the first “numbered” series is the one to have. Given they eventually made about 13,000 clearly the series 2 & 3...

    Ceramic coating day

    Given the weather forecast for today I thought I’d crack open the Williams Ceramic paint protection kit. I was given a couple of them a while back but left them on the shelf mainly because I was dubious as to the claims about these products and secondly the work involved. Aware of the claimed...

    Why all the sudden interest

    last year, even 6 months ago, you struggled to shift a Trophy for anything like reasonable money. The ones for sale seemed to be listed week after week. This last few weeks they are selling faster than bog rolls in April. I brought mine home today from its extended stay in heated storage with...

    What’s tops on a Trophy these days ?

    Obviously as owners we like to think the worth of the car has increased over what we paid. It seems however that prices have flattened somewhat. I get the feeling that any Trophy, regardless of mileage or condition will struggle to make £8k. There were some that maybe 2yrs ago sold for over...

    Greenlight won’t insure my car

    Sorry for attention grabbing headline. I had a message left by Greenlight insurance to say the underwriter wont renew as the car has no current MOT. i would have thought as the car has been SORN for a couple of years therefore not being driven they would welcome insuring it with the risk of it...

    Some right knobs about

    I’ve just been following the FS thread on FB for the Trophy up for sale on there. Are some people born stupid, do they inherit it or just develop it as they get older...I won’t say grow up as that’s doing them a favour. The comments with regard to value, condition etc just defy belief. On the...

    What’s the current market trend ?

    I’ve not been particularly active on the forum for a while. I’ve not used my car for well over 12 months now. From what I’ve seen the cars have taken a fair old slump in values with little interest in any coming up for sale. I’m a little bewildered by this given the frenzy over them in 2017...

    Sales seem to have stalled

    A quick search on eBay brings up about 6 cars, all of which seem to have been for sale a while. What is it with these cars that makes it a feast or famine market. There’s the odd nutcase dealer who has obviously got caught trying to flip for a fortune but most seem realistically priced cars but...

    Think I’m going to move the Cup on

    I’m not mad about selling it but we are now up to 8 cars at home and only really use 2. As a few of you know I have 3 Clios. The Trophy, an Alien 200 and the RB Cup so it’s a bit of a last in first out. The Cup is a beautiful car. Almost perfect paint, when I bought it the bonnet had the...

    Which county claims the claims most Trophy ownership

    The postings on the recent new Sachs thread and owners locations for delivery got me wondering where the bulk of ownership is. In Yorkshire the only cars I know of apart from mine is MossyV6 and new owner as of yesterday, Christrophy. T777PHY with #491might be in our number too but he’s been...
