R I’d like a trophy! If you’re thinking of selling, please let me know

Hi all,

I’m on the lookout for a Clio 182 Trophy and thought I’d post here in case anyone is considering selling, now or in the near future.

I’ve been into cars for years and have owned a mix of things and the Trophy has always been one that’s been on the list to come back to.

These days life’s a bit busier (three kids and being IT manager at a video game company), so I’m looking for the right car to keep and enjoy when I get the chance. It would be going to a genuine enthusiast home.

Condition wise I’m open-minded, happy to consider anything from well-used to very tidy, as long as it is honest.

For what it’s worth, current situation is a Vito daily and an Elise S2 tucked away at my dad’s that I’m trying to find time for…

If anyone is thinking about selling, or knows of a car that might be coming up, I’d really appreciate a message.

For what it’s worth, my history with the boring stuff removed:

Abarth 500 (2009)
Elise S2 111s (2003)
Exige S220 (2006)
Abarth 500 esseesse (2010)
205 Rallye (1992)
Evora (2010)
Clio 182 (2004)
Classic Mini (1982)
106 Rallye (1994)
E350 Brabus Estate (2011)
Bentley Brooklands (1995)
Clio 172 Cup (2003)
Elise S2 Racetech (2002)
M135i (2016)

Cheers

Chris

Good luck with your search Chris and I'll look forward to you posting your adventures when you acquire one.

I have posted a few on here that are for sale on various different sites in the recent days.

Thanks Nick! It’s only a matter of time until I get the keys I’m sure

I’m checking the usual places, eBay, Autotrader, C&C most days… I sometimes even brave Facebook marketplace

I’ve seen that one, looks smart.

LSD and lightened flywheel, not sure how much that would change the driving dynamics from standard, which is what I’m after

It’s certainly on the radar though!

Something like a Quaife LSD on the Trophy is a worthwhile upgrade and probably one of the very few modifications I would recommend.

Any jobs going, Chris?

Giving it some thought, my first choice would a trophy as close to factory as possible, I don’t doubt that one’s better! It’s not a no anyway, I just don’t want to waste anyone’s time

What area of the game industry are you looking for? Happy to help if I can!

I would agree - look for an enthusiast-owned example as close to stock as possible. And maybe consider something like a Quaife in the future if needs be. Whilst I am all for stock/standard (honestly, guv!) the LSD does add "driver value" if not monetary value!

I won't derail your thread talking work here mate!
