Nope. It’s 5 kg lighter than standard 172 glass, an owner on Cliosport weighed both sets. A small difference on its own but it all added up to a 89 kg saving over standard. Significant when it was only 1,110 kg to start with.
It also has thinner carpets, less sound deadening and even a smaller...
I’m going to say £45k for this. I’m tempted to sell my Yaris and my 172 Cup to buy it, but then it’ll worth too much to actually drive and enjoy it.
Having Trophy No. 1 though?! I didn’t think
It’d ever be possible.
I was just looking at these seats on eBay (for my 172 Cup) and thought I could just about read the number on the seat plaque, then thought I would see if the register had been updated. Nothing gets past you guys!
Hey, there you are, can't believe you've still got it, that's great. You must be one of the few original owners. Have you kept the permagard up? I remember that we were the only two Trophy's that were more red than orange. 14 years ago, ouch!
Great article Graeme, and some fresh writing there, even learnt a thing or two!
I added my tribute to XOG (298/500) to the comments. Something I've been meaning to do since 2014, but it was too painful!
Any of the old guard still on here? Cue - do you still own one?
Hello Kam, I saw you waiting to go around again at the start/finish line, I know what you mean about the stoppages, It was my first time there and I thought it was always like that but the next day was great. I only got one lap done on that Sunday. What a truly incredible place. I think there...
I've spoken to the guy, I told him to update the register and post an ad on here. If he comes along today can you help him out? I'm at work and can't really do this sort of thing!
It was weird, my fiancee said "Are you going to buy it?" Could do I suppose...
Cheers

Brought a tear to my eye seeing this, oh the memories.
I can vouch for the first 25K miles, it was mint when it left me. Dynoed the full 180bhp too, before the new exhaust.
I just found out about it here;

Brilliant site by the way, if you haven't already seen it.
I like the new RS Megane more, if they're starting with 250bhp it won't be long before a Megane Trophy is kicking the new Focus RS into touch with...
Parked up on the starting grid, looking very nice, a GRRC member too I think. Brought back fond memories. Is it Permagarded? It looked the slightly richer red that mine was.
If I still had mine I might consider this, evo just posted a quicker lap from their standard 175 than the Trophy (but not by much). That's one quick diesel, a brilliant all round car that's good for the commute and a weekend blast. We neede two cars so have my Teg and a diesel Focus (90bhp TDDI...
I weighed all the removable stuff from the back of the car, that's rear bench, isofix, parcel shelf and it came to about 10kg, the rear bench weighs fuck all, less than the isofix bar, I think it's made of marshmallow. Might as well keep it all in, the road noise is terrible with it removed...
That's hilarious Cue, read that back to yourself! Have you ever bled without hurting yourself? I suppose the accident could have coincided with her time of the month.
Hi Hyb, I remember you, didn't know you ever had a DC5 though. You do need a slap in the face, get an LPG conversion for the Zed. I was looking at one on Pistonheads for £12.5K with the conversion already done, 40mpg equivalent! Certainly don't get a 197, didn't you read evo recently, the...
I haven't been on here for a while, how are you all? Does anyone else want an R26.R? I'm torn between one of those or a FD2 Type-R. I'm getting married in June, scary stuff. When are you next having a meet in Brighton/Sussex? I'll come. Bye.
Hi
I've seen you three or four times now on the way to work (Just got a new job in Westerham/Kent) I think you turn off at Junction 10 as I saw you trying to cut in on a big queue yesterday! I'm in a white Integra so if I give you a flash you know I'm not telling you to get out the way! Boy...
How can you guys have forgotten the F40?!? :D
I was only joking with the anti-police talk, both my parents are police and I have a lot of respect for them but...
They are just people, and there are some right wankers in all walks of life, I was stopped once by a copper who looked exactly like...
Wow! I am so unbelievably jealous! I just turned the colour of your SuperSnot!
All I want is a Caterham (I was going to start with a Roadsport or something, but you have some brassy balls there!) at the moment, looking at lots of things but always go back to this idea.
Have you seen the...
I just got back from the airport and you were parked up with your hazards on at the end of my road (Preston Park Avenue), actually I see you most days, do you live on my road now?
For those of you that know me you might like to know I asked Emily to marry me up the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona...
Fitting substandard tyres on a car that's all about grip and cornering is completely ridiculous. Get them off of there now and demand they fit four new PE2s for your inconvenience. A Renault main dealer fitting £30 Firestones to a performance car is tantamount to corporate manslaughter.
I've just read the whole issue cover to cover as I'm stuck indoors in Wales with relentless rain, I was most surprised by the diesel Megane being quicker than the 197 Cup (and the Trophy) but if you look at the speeds it carries through the corners on the ST vs. Megane trace you can see it...
I've seen four different ones in less than a week, saw one today driving past the Shell Garage on London Road, turning right up Preston Drove. I keep forgetting the number plates and I can't wave anymore because I just look like a weirdo in an Integra or MX-5 waving at a Clio.
Need to get a...
