Both cars now sold.

Having successfully sold one of my MEV Exocets on eBay to a fellow enthusiast I have been encouraged to list the Trophy with the lower mileage on eBay. Starting price of £3450 with no reserve. http://m.ebay.com/itm/171909104739?_mwBanner=1

Since retiring I've enjoyed the occasional visit to car auctions, as a private buyer. When I was at British Car Auctions in May 2014 a Clio Trophy came up for sale and, pretty much on the basis that my son (TrophyMax) had owned one when they were 'current', and it had been a fantastic car to...

Very many thanks for the information about this car. Apologies to anyone whom my enquiry offended. I noticed the car listed at SMA Leeds where it was described as black. SMA said that the car had been entered into their system remotely by JCT600 and that they couldn't comment on the...
