I took ownership of 113/500 over the weekend so I thought I would start a little thread to show progress etc.
The car itself is in good condition, mechanically perfect with belts and dephaser not due for 2 years and currently Sachs are in good condition.
Car is standard apart from a Ktec...
Those were the ones I found ha ha!

Is this removal kit any good mate or would you suggest something else?

Could you point me in the direction of the replacement clips please?
Hi guys, got #113 on Saturday which has a few rust issues as well as paint fade issues which im going to work my way through.
First question is can this strip that runs along the roof be removed and bought new? It has rust bubbling in the corner (photo is generic Google image so dont look for...
The Trophy im getting tomorrow #113 has the Sachs rebuilt in 2011 so I expected them to need doing soon however when the current owner had the car MOTd the Sachs were given a clean bill of health with no leaks etc and its mainly been used for motorway journeys. I guess its just fingers crossed...
Quite well Dazzler! I bought it ha ha! I get it this Saturday, needs a little TLC on the bodywork but mechanically it's perfectly sound!

After a couple of weeks of searching online for a Trophy im going to see my first one today, number 113. Seems a well kept car going off the description, mileage is higher than what id ideally want at 123,000 but a lot seem to be around that.
All being well there will be a deposit going down :)
My budget is now £5000, as soon as in back from the Lake District tomorrow I'll be in touch with a couple of people, No.205 sounds like a nice example but can't load the pictures due to no wifi and poor 3G signal

Looks like a great example Danny, you're local (ish) too so shame I dont have a big enough budget. Good luck with the sale, doubt it will hang around long
No mention of the timing belt last being changed so thats something to enquire about. I use to own a Williams too, miss that car but im also now on the look out for a Trophy.
Good luck with your search mate.
Yeah Ben that sort of mileage wouldnt bother me, im expecting it to be around 100k with my budget. Also if it needs a few jobs doing that isnt an issue, got a few friends as mechanics which I trusted with my Williams so Ill happily trust them with a trophy.
Jon, its a bit too much over my...
Hi guys, just signed up after being pointed in this direction. Im on the look out for a Trophy but only have a small budget so not expecting a low mileage minter, only looking at approx £3500. Just trying to save up whenever possible to add to the pot.
Is £3500 reasonable or is there no chance...
