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.

On the other hand I think I would have gone for the 911 GT3 4.0 and the McLaren 675LT, both roughly the same price as Tom Brady's jersey. Different strokes for different folks I guess :cool:

They might have been pumping extra clean and oxygenated air into that casino, instead of giving the bidders too much blood to the head, it was a bit too much O2 maybe :D I must be missing something about the M3...what a price for it!!

Never seen that colour in the metal but by all accounts its one of the best one's for the 205. Hopefully it works out for you and someone will be interested in doing a swap.

Ah....tis a little bit sorry for itself in a few places. Under the bonnet looks like someone has fire bombed it :oops: This would be my pick Nick, more expensive at just under £23k, but it looks bloody immaculate and has had a decent bit of expense put into it recently by the looks of it...

Driver,co-driver and machine working in unison,right up to the maximum limits 👍

I've never seen him in that car before Ed,just unreal 👍

You might even have been listening to a bit of Insomnia at the time as well Ed....😉

To my shame,I have never been. Here is Molls Gap as shown by two unbelievable drivers,both taken far far too soon. Craig Breen Colin McRae Both driving it as intended,in a Mk2 Escort. I can only imagine what it would be like to tackle a road like that in a Trophy,certainly get the blood...

Like that Nick,even the plainest of plain Jane's can be desirable things to own and even admire. Seeing a car like that now,even something that was so common and probably got zero attention when it was new,might just get more attention than a Lamborghini in some retina melting colour 😁 It...

I would consider that a very decent example,you've obviously put a lot of effort and money into looking after it and it really stands to it. Best of luck with the sale,I'm sure it will find a suitable new home and owner fairly quickly.
