I caught the Hill/Sprint bug in the early 90s with my Jaguar Kougar which fell into the sports libra class. Big bucks required to do well in this segment of trailered race cars, but enjoyed the experience for a couple of seasons with a road legal car. Time passed and I had another good run for...

No exciting pictures of my 1.2 auto Corsa. To be honest with the current state of our UK roads right now she is the best car I own. My small car collection will be having a re shuffle this coming year.

Received my copy today. As ever beautifully packaged. Many thanks Ed.

Another little gem. Good work Ed. DM sent.

I can vouch for Shaftec as I fitted a couple to my BG. If I can remember they are on an exchange basis so you have to send your old one back afterwards

Probably our best trumpet blower Harry Metcalfe mentions during his excellent video that Renault were all set to paint the Trophy in white but bottled out at the last minute!

Fantastic effort once again for your hard work in finding these little gems. Good call with your comment regarding they are for Forum users in need. We can all stockpile parts just in case but where do you stop? Keep searching Inspector Clouseau Ed.

Bending the rules but that is stunning Nick.

Looking through rose tinted glasses i am hankering after one. Its the car I couldn’t afford as a teenager so bought rusty old Capri’s! The trouble is after owning the trophy and an Abarth I’m worried I might feel a little underwhelmed in the handling and performance department.

Happy birthday #151

Can’t add to what the guys have already said. Good luck with the sale Marc.

Many thanks Ben for your efforts over the years. Congratulations to the newbie helpers 🤣 In my humble opinion they have already proved to be a great asset to this fantastic community with almost daily info and advice 👍

7th September for #151

My Spanish shelf could become a container

I agree Ed. This part along with arch liners, Sachs, springs, Genuine Turinis etc are becoming difficult to source if you are new to the Trophy world and prices just keep on rising. Luckily most of us old duffers on here have a shelf of bits to keep our cars going😂

Why is it after all these years of supersize alloys being the hoop of choice I still think a small diameter steelie looks so cool on anything! Maybe it’s the hankering for a compliant ride over our shocking roads.

These are now Sold.

I have a set of the seat frames for sale if you want to tick one off your list!

There is a heat shield protecting the starter motor from the manifold, but I see no reason why this would be rattling

Had I similar rattle on my racing blue 182. The fuel rail protector wasn’t tightened up. This would have been removed to carry out the works. It’s held on by 2 x 10mm nuts. You will need a deep reach socket.

I’ve put my original seat frames back in #151. As you can see they are in as new condition. Im not sure what his lead time is at the moment but these have been difficult to obtain in the past. £200 plus postage.

You can rebuild your existing arms with a new swivel and press in new bushes. To be honest if you consider the labour costs along with shot blasting/powder coating the K-Tec ones with the additional stiffening plates seem a no brainer.

Having too many cars and being busy with work/family I had a right kick up the arse today. Took #151 out today and pushed hard on some of the best Dorset B roads. The turn in and the high reving NA engine Is so addictive.

Thanks pal. The Trophies belong to my Supercharged 350z. She is quite famous within the JDM scene.

Now the Racing Blue has gone to her new custodIan #151 is feeling smug right now having the Man cave to herself. New carpet fitted today before her first trip out this year at Compton Abbas tomorrow morning .

#151 will be taken out of hibernation tomorrow. Classic car meet on Sunday at Guy Richies Compton Abbas Airfield.

Number 103

Last post for the Racing Blue. Deposit taken. A very nice chap will be her new custodian not too far away from me.

Well spotted Ed👍
