Yes, a very easy sale thanks. The new owner is a forum member, so may be along to say hello :).
I am a little sad to leave the Trophy fray, as I have enjoyed five wonderful years with the car. Though it is time for a change and I have my heart set on a MINI GP (2006), so hope to pick one up...
Hi Guys,
This is now sold.
Mods, apologies if I am being blind/dopy, but I'm afraid I can't see the edit/delete post option. Any help would be gratefully received.
Cheers

Hello if you are on here :).
Thanks for the toot of the horn. It's great to see another in the flesh. It is easy to forget how great they look on the move :D.
I run Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3s' on the original Turinis and I have to say, they are a revelation in the snow, whilst giving more grip, feel and confidence in sub 7 degree temperatures. In fact I am swapping over to them on Saturday :).
I have a Milltek system, which I'm very happy with and should also be in your price range.
If you're interested their website has a few videos:

The second half of the A4212 (after Llyn Celyn) from Bala to Trawsfynydd is a belter; quite open and fast. You could do a favourite circuit of mine and then take the A470 south to Dolgellau and then the A494 (the first few miles of this from Dogellau to Bala are great fun if you have a sports...
Sorry, i know this is off topic but I saw Catchpole in his R26.R on the M25 last Friday. :D
I was popping along from J.10 towards the M3 at around 8pm, when in the distance I saw what I initally thought was a standard R26 in lane 2.
Though it was the colour that initially grabbed my...
They are simply stunning. Though alot more expensive to run than a Trophy. My brother had two 111s' followed by a S2 Exige.
Tyres are Yokohama ADVAN A048s, which are essentially semi-slicks, so the wear rate is alot higher. My brother never took his on a track and they lasted around...
I have a Milltek system and for me it's just the right balance. Pretty quiet at low revs and then really opens up further up the range. Also Milltek are one of the very few, if not the only, to publish output figures for their systems.
Since putting it on, I've definitely noticed there's more...
I'd echo all the comments here. I bought a Milltek system shortly after I got the Trophy and feel it's really added to the character of the car. Furthermore, Milltek are one of the few, if not the only, manufacturers to publish peformance figures; I've definitely noticed a palpable increase in...
In understanding the true value of buying a Trophy over a standard 182, I think the most important question is this. When was the last time you drove 100 miles on a challenging, twisting road, or perhaps more importantly, how often will you drive on a challenging, twisting road? If the answer...
If it was the August bank holiday it could have been me. Although I know there is, or at least was, another one around there; perhaps it was you i'd seen before?! Anyway, courtesy of my brother sourcing it, I am now the ecstatic owner of number 174 and have been living in a dream world ever...
