I've played golf today then went to Southport with the wife and child Tired now, watching The Voice (not my choice) and having a cold beer Some Mormons knocked on the door at about 9 o'clock and I couldn't get rid of them - far too polite. Wife had to come and tell them to go away

I only do approx 500 to 750 miles a year but I wouldn't class mine as a garage queen

Mines not a daily but it's definitely not a garage queen either. It's a weekend bundle of fun (although it doesn't come out every weekend) Drive an Audi A4 Avant as my daily

Fantastic work! Well done Is that exhaust the original one? I'd have to swap that out - I'm a massive advocate of keeping Trophys original but it just doesn't fill the opening (oo-er missus!)

Difficult without viewing but I'd say a solid £5k possibly a little more Depends what else is on the market when you come to sell. Advertise for £5995 or nearest offer and see if you get any bites! Good luck, sorry you're forced to sell it :(

Close enough I think?

I know that the owner of #308 is also 42 same as me as he is my twin brother!

#259 42 years young :)

I've not been on the forum for a while so only just seen this thread Although I'm pretty quiet at posting I feel duty bound to comment to say massive respect to Rik for offering this service. I realise that BG and Cornering Force (who did mine) have also helped to keep Trophys on the road but...

@SMJ - I'm in for this if that's ok? Put me down for 2 as I'll get one for my brother too (also a Trophy owner)

I've not posted for ages but I still lurk. Number 259 is still doing well as my weekend car. Only done about 1000 miles or so since I bought it Had a rather euphoric drive in it over Christmas

When I first got mine it had failed but I took it out, gave it a clean and it's worked fine ever since (touch wood)

£20k aren't they and not many about at all I doubt many on here have one. Wouldn't mind an R26 one day though, the seats look comfy

It's the same fabric as our back seats. All Swiss Trophies are like that There is a good Swiss Trophy webpage with some terrific photos of a Trophy factory build on it, I think I've linked to it on the forum previously

Good luck with the sale(s) Not often I see another family with 2 Trophies (I own #259 and my identical twin has #308)

Love this thread! Good to see an update

Not sure. I don't bother attaching it as my only car charger is for my old iPhone 4S (which I still use as my workphone is a 4S) When I drive the Trophy I just pop the iPhone in that little recess without a charger as I only ever do short journeys in it

I just use a free iPhone one called navmii, the Trophy has a little recess where the iPhone fits perfectly so it works for me Obviously it does run your battery down a bit on long journeys but I have a portable charger if it becomes an issue

Yeah I agree. I was just looking back at my posts as I spent a couple of hours in February reading through the tyre threads on the forum for a consensus. Most people said the W rated

Good that the King of the Muppets has finally returned from his abdication Seriously though I love stuff like this, proper entertaining

That is one lovely car dude. Right at home on this forum

I see another one almost every day (my twin brother has one and lives round the corner ;))

I just listen to the engine and the exhaust note

It's a pretty niche car in terms of potential buyer numbers so the decision to include zero information will harm the chance of a sale Not even got the number on there

Bugger! Was going to make an offer earlier but could not get decent signal where I was

Oof! Super nasty but each to their own

Shiny!

Mugs You can get a circa 60k miler for £4750 if you're prepared to wait. It would be private sale though, dealer would be £5,500 to £6,000

One of the other options I'd consider are pretty cheap on blackcircles Gooodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 Current £82, which is about £43 off RRP

I was researching tyres recently for when mine need replacing Consensus seemed to be Michelin Pilot Sport 3 but in 87w rating
