    Trophy seats not locking on the runner

    It’s a commonly arising problem with them. I’d type “seat runner” into search box and enjoy an evenings reading 😳

    £8650 six months back. Looks like it needs a bit of work in the brake dept

    Trophy spotted at BCA.....

    I think it was on trade auction tonight wasn’t it Nick. Can’t imagine it did anything

    Trophy spotted at BCA.....

    Needs a lot of work and money to get it right. It’s a brave buyer who would pay £9k for it knowing they have to start with sourcing a set of decent sachs

    Trophy spotted at BCA.....

    What did they used to call it “off the wall”?

    Trophy spotted at BCA.....

    I’m with you on that one, no way will it sell through BCA at that reserve, no private man brave enough to step into that arena and nothing in it for any dealer knowledgeable enough to know what the car’s about

    Two interesting £16k cars on AT

    Yes, I recall a few arse clinching moments, especially in the SD1’s and jags when they got out of shape. Thankfully nothing back then much quicker, not like today’s challenge where everything stolen is 300 horses +

    If I remember correctly they only let Essex Police use that, we tried to get hold of it but they wouldn’t let it go

    I had a series one turbo I took there on a rolling road day, he was trying to sell chips to everyone by the graphs from a chipped one, I was tempted til it went Boom 💥 on the dyno. I then took a series 2 turbo there on another rolling road day. I’d had it chipped at Collins Performance...

    Two interesting £16k cars on AT

    I’ve just done a little scan in autotrader and spotted the 2 cars at £16k ish both similar mileage but night and day in terms of preparation. One lazily presented with dirty mats and water marks all over the place and the other nicely detailed. A suggestion for Paul Blaney Motors - send your...

    Barn Find 31k Trophy on eBay

    Ah yes, I’ve just read it again a couple of times. Apologies Sam but in my defence I’m not the only one. It’s a nice car. 👍

    Barn Find 31k Trophy on eBay

    The Pitlane car is advertised as One Owner. I know there is some suggestion it’s had 6+ owners, presumably the seller wouldn’t deliberately mislead so what’s the truth with it. It seems a very brave and very wrong move advertising it as one owner if that’s not correct

    Barn Find 31k Trophy on eBay

    As I posted previously I think mid 14s was about all it was worth given the condition and the obvious amount needed to get it to anywhere near good condition. It’s still got to sell, as we know eBay is full of folk bidding and drinking on an empty head. If it does go at 15ish ad the paintwork...

    Barn Find 31k Trophy on eBay

    They must be reading this thread 🤣 Come on then boys, realistically what do we value the car at. Accepting it’s a one owner car which adds points and it’s low mileage - more points but it drops off a cliff there. It’s really an unknown for a potential buyer and as I’ve put before there seems...

    You need big balls to bid blind on this one Sam. The big seller is the1 owner, that’s about all you can say

    Barn Find 31k Trophy on eBay

    You don’t need to physically view it, the under bonnet pictures of any car tells a story, the engine bay paints a good picture of the condition of any car. As I previously posted, every fitting and fastener is rusty, top mounts rusty, loads of cues as to the general condition of the car. Whoever...
