On more than a few occasions unfortunately Nick 😉

Or you could have had "How do you handle and adjust your knob?" for the thread title 😂 And yes I have the sense of humour of a five year old 😁

Slow progress,what did you think of your EK9 when you had it?

And I'm liking that garage Russ182,looks very cosy and importantly....dry 😉

Agreed Nick,I think if that was in that lovely yellow Renault colour,it would stand out a lot better.

It sounds like Andy's naughty car could only dream of a lovely waterproof jacket like that 😂

Theres some good reading in that pile 👍

That seems a great price for the buyer anyway,nice car for that money. Best of luck to them 👍

Any ideas for the reasons,economy,cost of living increases,time of year,other priorities etc... Have sales of enthusiast and performance cars slowed down in general?

Looks pretty decent as well.

Very true,I just have a Mini and a 205 Gti. I did come close to buying a Trophy about 5 years ago up North,but it was just too much at the time. But I'm still dipping in and out of here,lurking 😉😂

I believe there was another one down towards the South of the country but I think that is now for sale with a dealer. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make my way over to Scotland yet,its on my bucket list though. I'd also need a car that was able to live up to the challenge of those roads...

Safe to say there aren't too many Trophies on Irish soil I'd imagine. You will be able to enjoy some of those great driving Scottish roads on the way over and back 😉

Collecting Cars must be coming pretty close to having as many Trophy's listed as this site 😁

It would have been great if they had spent a bit of time driving each of the cars lined up.

Good price for car with that sort of mileage?

Jesus,it feels like there is another Trophy up on CC nearly every week now. There will nearly be as many on that site as this one soon 😁

Very nice example,it must be well up there for one of the longest ownerships as well. Just at a nice mileage as well so the next owner wont be worrying about putting mileage on one they are reluctant to drive. I dont think it will be for sale too long either,good luck with it.

Jesus any Trophy owner would nearly need to add a wing onto the house to store all the magazines the Trophy has been in over the years 😂 Look forward to reading this issue. And that is another car for my dream,imaginary garage Nick,a DC2 Integra 😎

Man,you'd imagine the damage could be repaired by someone willing to buy the car,especially at that sort of mileage. I might have missed it but does it mention anywhere what actual damage was done to it?

What a brilliant article,thanks for the link Nick. I've never heard about Rush before so I can only guess they are fairly new? Anyone lucky enough to have a Trophy or any of the 172/182 Gen cars must be itching to drive them even more after reading that.

Those prices really are from a lifetime ago!! You would barely get a rotten project for £12995 now. How much is a Miura now,£1 million?

Some people pay good money for an experience like that 😉😂😂

You've probably driven more cars in a few weeks than I've driven my whole life Nick 😉 I have a hankering for a nice R129 SL500 in something like Ruby/Almandine Red on AMG Monoblocks.

Yeah I think anything outside being used as a weekend,quick blast sort of car might not be ideal for everyday use. Most people want that feeling that an Elise provides but they also want some semblance of ease of use and a bit of comfort etc.

I dont know if this qualifies as most people might consider it a bit more extreme than a Trophy but are there any Elise owners on here? I have always wanted to try one but it's never happened (like a lot of cars unfortunately). I would imagine something like a 172 Cup is a little bit more...

Wow that is a seriously well detailed history. You clearly put a lot of time and effort into the car,I hope it finds a very good home. Good luck with the sale.

Ah man that's what you call karma 😉 At least you know it's gone to a very good home,congrats on the sale Dawn.

He did what!!! Jesus,I suppose it can happen to the best of us no matter how rich and successful you are 😂😂 He might have actually seen double digit mpg figures for a little bit then 😉

Yeah I think it was a really good buy in the current market when it was initially offered on here a while ago. I'd be pretty confident it will surpass the price Dawn was asking on here. Best of luck with the sale and I hope it finds an equally good, new home. Edit: Just seen its already at...
