The R27 only had a production run of 500, this encompassed all colours.
yes nimbus is a rare colour i started a register on clio197 and at present from 80 regsitered R27's there are 3 nimbus. i love the nimbus myself from the pictures i have seen , the majority do seem to be liquid yellow...

a couple CTR's, A focus RS, 182 cup and now the trophy.
trying to talk the mrs into selling her flame red and buying a trophy se we can be greedy and have two.
steve have you considered a 306 rallye. there are a few good ones still about and are a good quick little hatchback. leave you with change to pay off your loan.
i paid £10k for a 55 reg,1 owner , 9400 miler which IMHO was a good buy.
there does seem to be a few sale at the moment so he might have to reduce his price a bit to generate some interest.

i'm trying not to become so obsesed with the trophy but all the signs are there, on a weekend it goes in the garage and i use the g/f's 172, i stay with it when we go to the supermarket, i am forever checking it over making sure everything is as i left it.
hi luke
very happy with the trophy, it is really nice driving about and not seeing another one on the roads. i recently sold my garage queen FRS, and on the odd ocasion i drove that about i always saw another one about.
i love the colour of the car and the recaro's are superb far...
was having a look under the car and noticed the rivets holding the sills have gone rusty and IMHO look nasty.
i am thinking of getting some bolts with nyloc nuts paint them red and replace the rivets with them.
i think it will look far better than what is already there.
good idea or not?
