Hi All Now that Spring is finally here I decided to tax the T yesterday. It was lovely to drive on some fairly quiet Cambridgeshire backroads, trying to avoid the endless potholes. For a 20 year old car it still gets noticed by those in the know. Did anyone else do the same yesterday?

Some things in life never change, yearly road tax increases is one. I hear there will be more increases early next year, perhaps bigger than previous years. I came across the following DVLA road tax summary. The Trophy is rated at 194 g/km CO emissions (band J). The current annual road tax...

Just spotted this very tidy UK registered Williams 1 on C/C that appears to be have been exported from the UK to Australia a few years ago.... time to import it back... https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1994-renault-clio-williams-1-5

I knew vehicles were cheaper in the US, but after a recent trip there I discovered just how much cheaper. Certainly not the most exciting car but my taxi was an Oct 2023 registered Honda CR-V (new shape). It cost the owner $28k (give or take) so around £22k. That same car over here is £46k...

I’m interested in getting some but wonder if there are any negatives? For example, I’m led to believe the frame lowers the seat by 1.5”. Does this mean the seat belt fastener ends up being 1.5” higher and potentially digs into your thigh? Any idea how much extra legroom you get? cheers

Motor Direct / A-Plan. Tel: 01993 894 661. I've been in conversation with them about providing all forum members with Trophy-specific insurance, including AGREED VALUE insurance. I've been insured with them for several years and can vouch for their professionalism. If you've been with Adrian...

In this months EVO (just arrived) it was interesting to read what an ex-Trophy owner (from Switzerland) thought about his 6 months of ownership experience. His letter is on p40 in the INBOX section. For those that don't get EVO, he was generally underwhelmed with the whole experience being...

first time I've spotted one here...

Hello All Possibly one of the best RS features in this months evo... enjoy!

...for no reason other than to drive some of the best country roads around me. 40 miles later I'm still of the opinion these are great cars. Highlights include the overall feeling of lightness and how that translates to cornering speed. And I still think Trophys look lovely, small with a big heart.

Very positive experience following a recent refurb. Friendly, professional and genuinely enthusiastic. Plus the car drives like a dream now especially in the corners.

How much are people paying for agreed value insurance?

covered in party foam for some reason

Just a heads-up... Tesco have the above fully synthetic oil currently at £28.50 for 4L (and £10 for 1L). Seems like a good deal?

Just been out for a cross-country cruise/blast - wow - reminded me what a mega car it is! Anyway - in a very long time (if at all) I lowered the steering wheel a little, and the driving position feels so much better. Less ape-like more F1-racer ;)

Get reading...

Just landed and looks to be an excellent issue, capped off with a Trohpy article.

Can't believe I spotted it myself! Main pic on p132, behind 911 in the distance... Taken at Bedford, when I was watching Dan in his T.

Hi I've just refitted my Sachs after CF serviced them and like at least one other person on here they seem incredibly firm. Now I've owned my T for about 5 years and I've driven lots of other Ts so I have a pretty good idea of what's normal, and quite frankly my Sachs dampers currently feel...
