I dont say this too often,but it's damn lucky I have no money. Be hard to choose between those two examples.

From the pictures at least, that looks pretty good Nick. Had some money spent on it as well.

Just curious about what happens if a car doesn't sell or meet its reserve. Do CC facilitate or approach the highest bidder to see if they will offer more?

In today's new marketplace,with the price of most cars going down,it may turn out to be a regretful decision by the seller. But it's their car so they can do what they want with it. The reserve must have been at least £21k plus then.

I'd imagine CC were onto the seller to reduce/remove the reserve once it got close to that £20k mark.

Damn,I would have thought it must be pretty close to its reserve,£20k seems like a decent price no?

The fact that it's car no.500,might make enough of a difference for some people to go that bit further to own it as well.

Very best of luck in tonight's auction Andrew,its a cracking looking example. And pass no remarks about my waffling 😉

For the true Renault Sport nerd/afficiando...it should be Capsicum Red Wine as well 😉

I'll be a bit cheeky and say between £19500/21500. Depending if there are at least 2 people determined enough and who have enough access to the wine cellar 😂

In some ways,it might be the ideal time of year to sell a car like that. People sitting at home bored,stuffed full of chocolate and maybe a few drops of whiskey,nothing to do, thinking of the Spring time just around the corner,so they might say "Why the hell not..." 😉

Speaking as someone who is very much an interloper on here,its a really top notch forum. Congrats to everyone involved in running it and keeping it ticking over. Happy Christmas to everyone and best wishes to all your families. Here's to a healthy,happy and prosperous '24 for all Trophy owners...

Nice one,great to see how well it all turned out Ed. Congrats to Craig and his team,no doubt it was no small undertaking. I'm looking forward to reading my copy when it arrives,with a bit of luck before the Christmas shutdown. I really hope it's a big success for you Craig.

This sticks so many boxes as well, stunning colour https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/15918201

@Idbul that's a great list. @sj2112 Yes they most definitely did, life is too short for dull colours ;) It seems most modern manufacturers just sell various different shades of grey/silver/white/black. Even way back in the 60's/70's there was some properly stunning, bright colours available...

I was thinking it was a 172 alright, didn't know if my eyes were playing tricks on me or not :oops:

2002 Clio 172 Cup with 86,500 miles £8,500. This might not be a rare colour, but there seems to have been a pretty decent amount of expenditure on this 172 Cup fairly recently...

Is this another rare enough colour, don't know what its called? Monaco Blue maybe? Pretty decent looking 2004 182 on 73k miles for £4,250...

While this might not be a Trophy, just said I'd stick up this pretty clean looking 182 with 43k miles, in what must be a pretty rare colour, Inferno Orange. Its up for £9,995. There will be far more knowledgeable people on here who know the production figures a lot better than me. How many...

I went down a Youtube rabbit hole late last night, looking at these Cups.

There might be some interest in this on here. 2010 Clio Cup with only 8,914 miles on the clock, plus it has the Recaro's. Seems like an unusual colour, don't think I've seen one in this shade of blue before. By all accounts, they are supposed to be a top notch handling car...

Congrats Nick, lovely looking example. Have you ever owned one of them before? I don't think I've seen too many in black. Good to see your Renault family expanding nicely ;)

Whenever you get your finger out and get that book of your car life written, I'll definitely be buying a copy ;) Rallye's, Type-R's, more MIni's.....and that's probably only scratching the surface.

Great photos there Ed. I have a feeling the coolness of the Irish car fleet went up quite significantly, whenever you and your family made your trips across the sea. Having both your Dad's R26 and your Trophy, would have been quite the cross country convoy I'd imagine. I think that silver...

Cant beat a bit of Churchill...he's never wrong 😉

I was trying to embed that in the message...didnt work 🙈😂

Some people cant refuse a stray dog,Nick cant say no to a lonesome looking Trophy 😉😂

That is a really nice looking car Nick, you seem to be giving it the thumbs up which considering the work you've put into your own car, is a good enough sign. I obviously don't know the backstory of the car/owner, but it must be a bit unusual for a car like this to be sold using this method...

Wow,that looks like a very special wee car. I'm guessing that will go for a properly chunky bit of change.
