The presentation for sale compares really badly to the example Tom is selling. Obviously much lower mileage than 53, similar prices(ish) but the attention to detail is light years apart.

Agreed. Every alloy showing signs of damage and an exhaust appearing to be held up with zip ties (!)...

Just visited all the examples listed for sale recently and most don‘t seem to have been moved on as yet. That includes the one on Collecting Cars which has not even moved on from “Pending”! Lots of people on the FB page wanting them but unwilling to lay down the cash?

There are a few cars about at the minute but in my opinion the prices being asked isn’t representative of the quality, prep and standard of the cars.

for example there is one on 126k with little or no info on the belts, Sachs refurbs and a few other things - the seller wants £6k.
Good luck and I hope that people get the money they are asking for but I have been looking for one for a while but not going to pay over the odds to buy another trophy after selling mine last year.. I suspect this is the same for many other buyers

btw it makes ash’s clio look like a steal for £12k or whatever it went for earlier this year..

It must be starting to dawn on sellers looking for top dollar that the car has to be
in very good condition and has the history to back it up to demand some of the figures being asked for now.

If cars aren't being snapped up it sort of tells you people are holding back and not jumping on this band wagon
of high priced cars.

i just don’t think the appetite is there with buyers yet to pay anything like the £15k+ optimistically sought by a couple of buyers. The cache is just not there yet. Maybe like the Williams 10yrs ago, albeit there will always be many more williams out there than the Trophy. £15k these days for a car is nothing, it’s the price of a decent Fiesta but the Troohy just doesn’t quite have that level of appeal

For me as bloke who has owned through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s just about every Ford RS ever made and sold them well before the current madness I’m stuck in the dilemma of storing a car I don’t use and really haven’t used very much hoping that I may catch a wave with it at some point.
