test drove an S2 Elise at the weekend.... very nice and reckon combined with the Pug we have it could quite easily be used as a daily driver - though perhaps not in the winter months!!
i quite liked the raw back to basics feel of it.... although i then had a fabulous drive home in the...
Lee - think thats a Rentech sticker.... the only Clio Trophy stickers are the internal ones available in the shop (although i understand they are currently out of stock :oops: )
best best is to get some piccies up and do a full for sale thread.... price seems fair tbh!
look fwd to hearing your views on the Meggy.... have you signed up to www.meganesport.net ?
good owners forum for you :wink:
just giving this thread a bit of a bump.... especially as the car is still available and there's been a recent influx of new members looking at Trophys
good stuff... post on the owners register tomorro (once you've finished having fun with it :wink: ) and one of us will get you your 3rd Owners Star (trophysmall)
i spent a good 3 months searching for a good Pug 306.... diesels hold their money well; the ones to go for are the HDi's but you'll be able to get a 97P reg D Turbo for the top end of your budget but they're not without hassles i am told.... if you're interested in 306 specifically i found...
buy a shitter.... best thing i have ever done tbh.
my first Trophy i had a similar commute to yours and managed to rack up 9000 miles in about 9 months.... in the new Trophy i managed to rack up 5000 miles in 3 months and was quickly getting bored of driving it in traffic etc.
Now with the...
what do you know of the repair centre that's going to do the work - do they have a good reputation? have you been and see where your car is?

With the start of the summer weather appearing it was time to get the Trophy looking good again. The previous owner obviously had some kind of fascination with car washes judging by the swirlmarks in the paintwork :roll:
Having never PC'd a car myself I opted for the slightly lazyboy...
Renault had enough of the 197 being constantly compared to the Trophy and the fact that most magazines are saying the Trophy is by far the better car? :?
I don't think Renault appreciated just how good they made the Trophy nor the following it has got when they brought out the 197....
