Some action on a steep corner somewhere in the dales…

Well, that all sounds fair enough to justify some new paint Mike!

Cheers mate! Looking forward to today’s adventures on the roads of the Dales. 😁👍

I’m just wondering @Mike256 if your car warrants a full respray? Given what I consider to be the pretty good finish on the factory paint even 20 years down the line now on many of these cars. I think there’d have to be something fairly major to make me want to repaint the whole thing, especially...

Lovely end to a good days driving. Up into the Yorkshire dales tomorrow, Trophy running like an absolute dream.

Haha! Sorry I missed your call earlier Nick, I was just trying to work out the shower in tonight’s accommodation… 😳🤣 ….crikey!

All packed ready for a weekend road trip..

Looks sensational under the bonnet Dave. (y)

Just had it confirmed by the seller, the car is No. 228

Track modified Trophy for sale on PH. No mention of which number it is either. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/18384497

Nice. I knew you’d have it in hand. :D

Looking great Nick. You really need some lime green coolant though… 🤣 ;) 🤣

Oh… and a pair of Trophy rear springs marinading in a nice bucket of Bilthamber Deox-C… These will be for sale soon.

…dragged the old exhaust back out of the shed for some final pre-painting fettling. Hope to get this finished and fitted to #407 before the MoT in June.

Trophy #161.

Great to see your work @James__H :) (y) Makes me want to get more bits restored to as-new condition underneath mine (I have all the bits ready more or less, it's just finding the time to swap it all over!)

Just caught up with last weeks instalment from HM. A Scottish road trip in his Testarossa. Sublime views, great roads, HM's infectious enthusiasm. An inspiration certainly for trip planning - I've already been checking out the hotels/accommodation and locations he mentions.. Well worth a watch.

Same. 😊👍

That’s good news to me Nick! 😁👍

Given the current climate I’d say it was a good result.

Number 103 now live: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2005-renaultsport-clio-182-trophy-46 Seems to be stuck at £7k, hopefully we’ll see more interest in the final moments. I’m going to predict a £15.5k finish for this one, including fees.

7:03am - on the homeward leg of this morning's dawn run... Full write up (& more pics) coming later.

Great looking car! A real testament to your careful ownership. It’s a delight to see one in this condition - it’s obviously been cherished. Fantastic!

An afternoon cleaning the underside of the bonnet then cleaning and coating rear suspension componentry in ACF50 today Nick, I doubt you'd want to see those pics... 😆 😆 😆

Cheers Nick. Felt great to have the old thing back out of storage, I'd forgotten how I'd gone to town cleaning the interior last year... it was like stepping into a car fresh out of the showroom in 2005!

I'm also taking advantage of the spell of good weather. No.407 retrieved from the unit earlier on, a nice trundle home and now on charge ready for a weekend of fun. Can't wait! It's been too long...

Surprised there wasn't more interest Dave, especially as a for charity sale...

A pair of front Sachs. For refurb. Located in Portugal. Buy it now price: £1450...

Sorry mate, I thought I'd better mention before you started fitting it... (y)
