Nope. It’s 5 kg lighter than standard 172 glass, an owner on Cliosport weighed both sets. A small difference on its own but it all added up to a 89 kg saving over standard. Significant when it was only 1,110 kg to start with. It also has thinner carpets, less sound deadening and even a smaller...

Damn, £250 out. 😆

I’m going to say £45k for this. I’m tempted to sell my Yaris and my 172 Cup to buy it, but then it’ll worth too much to actually drive and enjoy it. Having Trophy No. 1 though?! I didn’t think It’d ever be possible.

Wow, 15 years. Like the blink of an eye.

I was just looking at these seats on eBay (for my 172 Cup) and thought I could just about read the number on the seat plaque, then thought I would see if the register had been updated. Nothing gets past you guys!

Hey, there you are, can't believe you've still got it, that's great. You must be one of the few original owners. Have you kept the permagard up? I remember that we were the only two Trophy's that were more red than orange. 14 years ago, ouch!

Great article Graeme, and some fresh writing there, even learnt a thing or two! I added my tribute to XOG (298/500) to the comments. Something I've been meaning to do since 2014, but it was too painful! Any of the old guard still on here? Cue - do you still own one?

Yeah, it is pretty quiet.

Hello Kam, I saw you waiting to go around again at the start/finish line, I know what you mean about the stoppages, It was my first time there and I thought it was always like that but the next day was great. I only got one lap done on that Sunday. What a truly incredible place. I think there...

I've spoken to the guy, I told him to update the register and post an ad on here. If he comes along today can you help him out? I'm at work and can't really do this sort of thing! It was weird, my fiancee said "Are you going to buy it?" Could do I suppose... Cheers

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/925416.htm Brought a tear to my eye seeing this, oh the memories. I can vouch for the first 25K miles, it was mint when it left me. Dynoed the full 180bhp too, before the new exhaust.

I just found out about it here; http://www.drivers-republic.com/first_l ... 96eb59c039 Brilliant site by the way, if you haven't already seen it. I like the new RS Megane more, if they're starting with 250bhp it won't be long before a Megane Trophy is kicking the new Focus RS into touch with...

Parked up on the starting grid, looking very nice, a GRRC member too I think. Brought back fond memories. Is it Permagarded? It looked the slightly richer red that mine was.

If I still had mine I might consider this, evo just posted a quicker lap from their standard 175 than the Trophy (but not by much). That's one quick diesel, a brilliant all round car that's good for the commute and a weekend blast. We neede two cars so have my Teg and a diesel Focus (90bhp TDDI...

I weighed all the removable stuff from the back of the car, that's rear bench, isofix, parcel shelf and it came to about 10kg, the rear bench weighs fuck all, less than the isofix bar, I think it's made of marshmallow. Might as well keep it all in, the road noise is terrible with it removed...
