That is a real bargain. I sold it 3 yrs ago for £7250 and that was before it had all the underbody work done. I bought it for £4k and fitted the seats and had the original wheels refurbed. It had a lovely exhaust back then and in honesty drove better than the Trophy
A tremendous car. I’ve never driven anything (and I’ve owned 130+ cars since I started driving back in ‘77) that goes down a twisty road so quickly and calmly. If you get chance watch Henry Catchpole on Carfection, he sums it up far better than I ever could
After passing custody of the Trophy on a few months ago I’m back into a car with a nod to the Clio by way of the strange stalk on the right hand side of the steering column. Yes the £60k Alpine A110 has the quirky volume and channel change stalk which I could never figure out on the RS200 Clio...
I think there may be a couple of Alpine owners on here, I’m interested to keep something French in the garage and looking seriously at one of these. Looking for any informed insight into ownership, models, spec, issues etc
Thanks for your kind words Mark. The sale of my much pampered car was just as I hoped it would be with a buyer finding me rather than me having to go through the pains of hawking it around the various sales platforms.
I will be lurking around the forum so look forward to seeing how you get on...
I’ve put the bits that haven’t sold here into the 182 FB sales group but thought I’d offer these last couple of bits here first.
A genuine Renault 2 part touch up kit. I’ve never used it but I’ve opened it and the paint is nice and fresh. I think these are out of production now. £12 posted
Set...
Thanks Ed/Nick
Ive met more Trophy owners since Ive sold the car than when I owned it!!
I will be lurking around the forum for a while even if its only to get rid of all the tat ive got left :ROFLMAO:

I would like £80 which I think is about right...
It was a roller coaster of a job back then, Yorkshire ripper, steel strike, miners strike, Orgreave, Hillborough, fireman's strike, ambulance strike, prison strike. They don't know they are born these days !!!
Gents, I have a small hoard of Trophy bits which Ive held during my ownership but are now no longer of use to me. Price wise I'm basing them on what ive paid or my percieved value of the items. If Im way off please let me know.
For sale are as follows :
Speedline wheel - Genuine original...
Hey Nick, as a young Constable in my first few months of service we were required to work overtime on "Ripper" patrol. This involved night time duty in the nurses accommodation at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital! What a job that was so imagine our despair when a lad I joined with, young...
Im unable to edit the body of the post but for clarity there are 14 magazines in total. I have a duplicate copy of one Autocar magazine shown in the photo which I will sell separately
Ive got a collection of magazines to sell. They are what I have collected during ownership. They go back to the first features on the Trophy in Evo and Autocar back in 2005.
14 magazines in total.
I would like £28 for them ie £2 a magazine which I think is a fair price
I would like to try...
im on car no 138 since I started driving back in 1976 so I stopped getting attached quite a few cars back 🤣.
I’ve still got my Elise and Golf TCR in the garage as well as a few motorcycles so I’ve got plenty to keep me busy.
I’m going to put a few bits I’m wanting to sell on here when I get...
Thanks Peter. I thought long and hard about it, Ive enjoyed ownership but did lose interest in driving it over the years and couldn’t see me regaining the enthusiasm to rattle around the lanes in it. It will make a lovely car for the new owner
That's it - my period of Trophy ownership has ended today. I have owned the car 7 yrs and in that time prepared it to outstanding condition but only done 1800miles in it. Its gone to a new owner who I know will get full enjoyment from it and hopefully get a few more miles on it than Ive done. Im...
