I'm guessing the Trophy has at the very least, made it onto the podium anyway ;)

Exactly, although that is a scenario I would only be able to dream about :rolleyes::LOL:

If that original purchase price is correct...Jesus that is serious profit Nick. Fair play to the seller, with the added bonus of not having to pay commission. But I'd be thinking, what else could that sort of money have bought, or even a few different cars....

I cant claim to have been in or driven many great drivers cars but I fully agree with you, the Recaro's in the DC2 and pretty much every JDM Type-R especially, are just brilliant. My brother had a few EK9's back in the day and it was a very special little car as well. At least if you get an...

Clio is looking very well. Seeing that Mini is bringing back some very painful and expensive memories, I don't envy you on that one ;) Being an Innocenti, I'm guessing it came from Italy, so there might have been a bit less rust and rot to deal with compared to a home market car...hopefully.

Add81...I would consider that a pretty damn good two car garage right there ;) Your DC2 looks immaculate, big fan of Honda.

I'm in Cavan,if I was ever up that direction I'd love to see it. I dont think I've ever seen one in real life,and it looks like a belter.

Fair play Chipper,that looks like a little beauty. Original NI car as well,are you based in the North?

That looks like a very nice example. GLWS and hopefully it finds a good home.

That one with Anglia will probably make it to the top estimate as well.

I'd just call that a man of good taste...😉

Just seen that 970 S,yeah that seems like a great price for what is essentially a fully restored car. And as you said,they usually go for a lot more than the £38k this one went for. Colour really suits it as well.

Looking at some of the other results,I think the V8 Esprit went for what looks like a bargain £31,500. I would have guessed £50k+ on something like that. They seem to sort of go under the radar though,unless its something like the Sport 350 or GT3.

There was some stunning cars in that auction but Jesus,some of the prices!! I was watching it live online when that RS500 went for that figure,seems the real trick to driving prices to that level is to have someone in the Middle East bidding 😉 That Fiat Stradale was just stunning,not surprised...

I think you can be pretty sure your not going to be meeting too many of them on the roads. Probably the last of the breed in relation to bonkers,stripped out,throw everything at it,hooligan hatches...unfortunately.

Thanks for that information Nick,I'll try and take a better look at Duscovery + later on. If I was in your position Nick,with cars like that being offered to me...I'd be in the poor house!! It would be damn hard to control and stop your petrol head from completely taking over 🙈😂😂

Sorry Nick, that link isn't working for me for some reason. It would be great to pay visit and take a look at even a fraction of some of those very fine cars you all have over there. Just curious Nick, are you seeing more "nice" cars coming in for trades and out of storage for sale, compared...

That just proves to me that I'm definitely hanging out with the wrong sort of friends Nick 😂😂 Wow what a stunning pair of cars. That E-Type is just stunning,always loved bold coloured interiors when the exterior is more muted.

I'm basing this on driving my brothers EK9 way back in the mid 2000's so my memories might not be 100% correct 😉 I loved driving it at the time. It was the sort of car that never seemed playful or would cock a wheel or start stepping out on you,it always seemed very much a track biased setup.As...

Well if you have the keys to epic cars like that,why not 😉

Ah sorry Nick, you are correct. It was the rears that they put on over the originals, that is where the trouble usually starts on them now that I think about it. Still a great looking car though, Fords from around the late 1990's/early 2000's really did offer some really good looking, cutting...

I'm probably wrong on this and I wouldn't rely too much on my memory but I always thought they basically stuck the wider wings onto the originals, which is why they suffered from rust and rot as it was a moisture trap between the two bits of metal.

Having only driven a few of those selected,I would have to say DC2 for the top spot as well. It has the magic handling,great body hugging Recaros where you sit just perfectly and all the controls are just so right. Then to top it off you have that unreal combination of one of the best manual...

That would be a tricky one to compile. It would be great if you could choose cars that have different characteristics,even though all of them are FWD.

Really was a brilliant read Craig. For me personally I always like reading and holding an actual magazine so it would be a nice bonus if it was produced. But at least there is always the online option as well.

Oh that looks pretty nice,what do you reckon it needs GrahamO? The Recaro Pole's really make the interior.

Just curious,does anyone have any data for prices achieved for other Trophy's sold in Switzerland/France? Seeing as those countries got a lot less cars than the UK when launched,you would think prices would be even higher than those for sale in the UK. At least there is "usually" a pretty...

You'd imagine that would get quite close to what a Trophy can do,for a nice chunk less money. Generally speaking anyway.

Two good shouts Nick,I completely forgot about the Golf ball!! I'd squeeze that in third place 😉

I love any of the gear knobs in any Type-R. Extra nerdy bonus points for the gear-lever cover in the NSX-R NA2 that is mesh and saves a few very vital extra few grammes in weight ;) Not only do they look that extra bit special and of course being made from titanium gives them extra bonus...
