Barely run in. Had 265 from new, pushing 80k now. When the offspring get a bit bigger, may have to look to a VRS or similar, but fine for now...
How long do you intend to keep your Trophy?

I have had mine for 16 months now, covered 21,000 miles and I would like to think I will hold on to it forever and a day, I would certainly love to (even though the severely potholed and broken roads around West Yorkshire make the Trophy's ride cringeworthy) but as a car enthusiast the lure of other bargain performance cars is a constant temptation and I can't justify owning two toys. The Megane 250's at £11,000 is particularly troubling
For now though the plan is keep her!

Although I would be lying if I said I hadn't thought of every other performance bargain at the moment such as:
E92 M3 circa £20k
E39 and E60 M5 £6k and £15k
Cayman S £15k
996 Turbo circa £20k
Subaru RB5/P1 £6-10k
Evo TM edition/IX FQ £9-14k
R33 GTR £7k
TVR Cerbera/Tuscan/Griffith 500 £10-14k
Merc E55/Sl55 AMG £8-12k
Clio 200 Cup £7k
The list goes on, although a certain thing called running costs and insurance start to become and issue with almost all of the above.
The Trophy is a bargain to run all things considered.

Blimey, I thought you had sold and left a while ago, still a handful of us old originals floating around
Still have 049. I've had this for just over 5 yrs now. Now its just covered 36k. Now garaged an
d doesn't get used that much now. Last year it only covered 500 miles. Can't see myself ever getting rid of it. Certainly puts a smile on my face now when it does get used.

If any of you gents ate thinking about selling your trophy drop me a pm
Owned number 044 since August 2013 just hit 80500 miles. Is my second 182. Had a RB 182 cup for 18 months sold that for a Corsa VXR and was the worst decision I've ever made. The Corsa had the power (was stage 3 242 bhp 251 lb/ft) but didn't have the handling of the 182. Sold it and bought a Trophy. It will be staying for a few years as I'm in love with it. Me and my friend are in the middle of buying a run about to use for work. Which means it will be a weekend toy and so will his Mk2 Focus RS.
