Where is the car if you don't mine me asking? I always thought it was 2 years or 36k miles but don't quote me on that.
I think a visual inspection can sometimes give it away too but does vary.
After following many sales recently and seeing the auction posts on here, after an eBay sale last night, I can't see any for sale anywhere!
Having just had #189 restored throughout and investing in a full bodywork tidy up and respray, can only see the prices rise over the next few years.

Have spent lots of time and money restoring mine recently, sadly the mileage doesn't make mine a higher value one, but yours has some very tasteful modifications and looks very clean. Good luck with the same, some bits and pieces you've made me think about ?
Congratulations on the purchase, surprised by the price tag but sub 50,000 mile Trophys are becoming hard to come by.
One thing that strikes me as odd is the late replacement of aux belt and cam belt, seems to have skipped any belt services in the first 11 years?
Very little room behind the Recaros to be honest, I'm short (ish) and never had a problem when fully reclined but like you say, they are relatively spacious. Remember driving from Devon to Manchester and back once with a full car, wasn't too bad to be honest!
Ask them to provide current sales price evidence by way of adverts, if not send them a few of the current ones for sale on eBay, then they will struggle ;)
I've gone through so many of the standard rear ones over the years it just wasn't cost effective and a local company had the powerflex red ones on the shelf. I've just had a look and mine has both in tact, I might order a cheap set off ebay from China and if they turn up and fit I'll let you know ?
Only ever replaced the mid mount and the two rears with powerflex inserts but never the rear silencer hangers. If you find a decent replacement id been keen on these as mine are original
I was always told that if a spring had a weakness it would have gone by now and unless any tell tale signs, they should last the life of the vehicle. Mine has never been tracked in the 11 years ownership so personally for me I don't think I would really notice the difference. I do however have a...
Mine was purchased in 2009 on 13k and now has covered 146k, mechanically mine is now more refreshed than when I first bought it so mileage isn't always a reflection on condition!

Apologies for those who have viewed or joined but decided to setup a restoration page to show my progress after 2 years off the road and left in the corner of a bodyshop. After 11 years of ownership I have decided to put the work into...
Had the joys of fitting these this week, pig of a job to do without a ramp but a worthwhile replacement whilst doing the lower arms. Let me know the part number and price as mine could do with replacement.
Thanks
My springs have covered 146k and from what I've been told they look perfectly fine. I do have a 'mint' set I don't really want to touch and for £35 the pair I thought the powder coating option was the best option.
Will report back when then are done.
Forgot to mention I missed this post and the group buy but having the original springs powder coating. Wondering if anyone has had theirs done and whether it was worthwhile?
