That sort of reminds me of one of the best Only Fools & Horses episodes, To Hull and Back. I just so happened to be watching it the other night and reading your post Ed, I now just have a vision of Nick, setting sail across the Channel in an old boat, to collect a valuable haul of rare Trophy...

I don't think I was ever much of a fan of the "Dimma" look But agreed Ed, the split rims on the likes of the 205, made a nice difference I think.

That's the first R5 Dimma I've ever seen Nick. I'm guessing they weren't as common or popular a conversion as the likes of the 205, back in the day?

Fair play to everyone involved in this project. Just from following the other thread, a tonne of work has obviously gone into getting it all together, you should be very proud and happy with the final outcome Ed, and everyone else involved behind the scenes. Whoever gets a copy, will be...

@Chipper Thanks for the post and the details in it as well. As you say, mechanically wise, its a fairly straight forward setup, powertrain and running gear at least (you would guess anyway). While I have never even sat in one, I could well believe they might feel a bit more "substantial"...

The packaging elves, will need to be decked out like a forensic, crime scene detective Ed, silk gloves and all when handling these calendars ;) It sounds like they will be a proper Trophy masterpiece. People who place an order, will be getting a top quality, and very well put together, piece...

Just said I'd ask this question on here as I believe there might be some current and also former, Clio Williams' owners. Just wondering what is it like to find parts for the Williams these days? Is it a case, that you either have to be very lucky and or, spend a very long time hunting down...

Great stuff Ed,must be the final big event there for the year.

Looks like Harry is late for the takeaway grub :cool:

Great looking show, some very nice cars on display.

That looks mega, colours like that were made for cars like that ;) Real pity the Spanish jobs for life, tried to put the 182 through so many hoops. Still, every cloud has a Giallo lining and all that :cool:

I like your enthusiasm Nick ;)😁

Sounds like a great project. I'm sure it will be a top class result as well, considering the people behind it all. Ed and Nick,you might like it so much,you could launch a publishing enterprise aka Created by Trophy Productions 😎

I probably cant talk either Ed....as you well know 😉🙄😂

Its always good to have a backup of a backup Ed ;)

Slightly different take on a hot Clio this one https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2010-renaultsport-clio-200-6 Wonder what its like to drive, would be quite the firecracker I'd imagine.

Little red beauty there Ed. Probably better than when it left the factory 👍

Imagine the fun you'd have in that Trophy, with some of those renowned Welsh driving roads on your doorstep (I'm guessing)

Hi Ed,in case you didn't see it I sent you a PM.

I know there are various machines out there to work on and setup suspension components. I can just see you Nick trying to get something similar to set the exhaust,just to that perfect angle. The goldilocks zone for exhaust tips 😉😂 That sounds like it will be a great event though,hopefully you...

On a sidenote, I never knew BBR tuned Mini's either. They seem to make great performance packages for MX5's though.

That '65 Mini doesn't seem to be on their site when you click on that link for some reason Nick, I must be doing something wrong? Whoever bought that 2005 Cooper S, spent a sh!t load of money on it and then only drove it less than 7k miles, obviously had money to burn. Bonkers way to spend...

And there was me thinking this site had taken a sharp turn to the smutty side!! ;)

Looks like someone got a really good car for a good price. Congrats on the sale clearglass and best of luck to its new custodian. I'm sure you would have liked to get a bit more for it though.

Thanks for digging that out Ed, you obviously have all your old material and pictures exceptionally well organised, very much unlike myself!! :rolleyes: 😁 It looks right at home in that landscape and on some of the best roads in that part of the country. Small, light, chuckable and nimble...

I know this is not the place for this discussion,but you'd have to ask if manufacturers are going down the correct road at all. When you look at the ever increasing,size,weight and power of modern cars, that just cant be used for anything more than a few seconds/minutes at a time,on public...

😂😂 Considering the love for motorsport over in that part of the world,I'd say you weren't the only one to add a few more gaps in the hedges,free of charge for the local farmers Ed 😉

I would have loved to have seen that little City E Ed. I'd say no fast car was safe with you piloting that back in the day Ed!! ;)

Ah loved watching that Ed :cool: 😁 That Clio wasn't standard and he wasn't exactly pulling away from the Mini. I never fully realised how much the rear coming around, would play a part in how it went around a bend. Even watching the likes of the Fiesta ST getting a bit of a lean on...

Looks like a lovely example, I would love to try one at some stage. At least you should be fairly confident, this one won't have too many rust issues to worry about.
