I know the feeling.
At least you can feel guilt free by using it now after doing all the work on it ?.
When this whole Covid thing hopefully dies down I'm sure a lot of people who are into cars among other things will realise being able to drive for the fun of it shouldn't be taken for...
Ashton,looks like it's just come off the production line.
Great looking example,how long have you had it for?
They are probably the type of car that are hard to let go off,as others have said they are relatively cheap for the thrills compared to more expensive and exotic machinery.
Congrats on getting your Trophy.
I follow the collecting cars site,its always great looking at some of the great looking cars they have,I certainly wont be buying anytime soon anyway...
Just curious how it works when you win the bidding for a car.
I presume you are put in touch directly with...
I also think Trophy prices have slightly calmed down a bit over the last year or so.This is along with the more overall cooling down of car prices I think,and obviously the current economic climate wont have helped.
I remember looking at some on Autotrader,Pistonheads etc. Over the last 12/18...
Yeah I read somewhere that the warranty from Porsche,while pretty good is also pretty restrictive which is understandable I guess.
Out of interest,how long does the warranty last for?
I presume you can take a year or two but extend it up to a maximum amount of years if you are willing to pay...
Not a bad video at all ?
These really are a great looking performance car,not surprised you never want to sell it.
Are you planning on changing any parts like the exhaust or just leave it all as Porsche intended?
I didn't realise they had 6 pot calipers at the front either.
It's amazing how...
Great looking example.
You should have put a health warning at the start.
Looking at that shiny bodywork for too long might make you blind,like the sun.
?
Great write-ups and your attention to detail is on another level.
The car will be way better than new when you've finished and give plenty of smiles per mile for a long time yet.
Just read that on Pistonheads.
I would love to read the longer article.
Congrats on developing the Trophy in the first place,maybe someday I'll be able to sample one...
Nice write up on Pistonheads

It's great to see all of the work you've put into it,cracking car.
You must be delighted with the results
Very honest view.
You dont tend to see things like that being written about Mini's,maybe I'm just reading the wrong forums etc ??
I do fancy having a go in a GP2 at some stage,so God knows what that will be like...
It looks like your more than happy to have the 182 in its place ?
What did you think if the Mini GP when you had it?
It seems to get pretty good reviews in the main,I've never driven one but I'd like to try one at some stage.
It looks like a car that can really get under your skin but obviously it's not as practical as other hot hatches but I guess that's not...
Sounds like a great way of keeping even the most basic of information together for future owners/buyers.
No doubt there is a lot of information out there already,on this site in particular but as others have said its probably all over the place on different threads etc.
Best of luck with it ?
I think Renault will be quite pleased with those results,its mad to think cars like the Mk3 Megane RS didnt make it at all...
Plus great cars that are slightly less well known like the Suzuki Swift Sport but you wont please everyone ?
And the award goes to.....

I hope the champagne is on ice ?
The poll closes on the 12th,this coming Wednesday.
The Trophy looks like it has a pretty good lead at 22% compared to the R26R in second at 14% and the EP3 at 13%.
Really good add,hopefully it will go to a good home.
It looks like you definitely have a love for fast Clio's.
It must be great having your choice of a few different William's to drive ;)
Great looking collection of cars :)
