    Trophy Sales on Collecting Cars

    That is a real bargain. I sold it 3 yrs ago for £7250 and that was before it had all the underbody work done. I bought it for £4k and fitted the seats and had the original wheels refurbed. It had a lovely exhaust back then and in honesty drove better than the Trophy

    I’m back and with a few Renault bits

    A tremendous car. I’ve never driven anything (and I’ve owned 130+ cars since I started driving back in ‘77) that goes down a twisty road so quickly and calmly. If you get chance watch Henry Catchpole on Carfection, he sums it up far better than I ever could

    I’m back and with a few Renault bits

    After passing custody of the Trophy on a few months ago I’m back into a car with a nod to the Clio by way of the strange stalk on the right hand side of the steering column. Yes the £60k Alpine A110 has the quirky volume and channel change stalk which I could never figure out on the RS200 Clio...

    Alpine A110 owners ?

    I think there may be a couple of Alpine owners on here, I’m interested to keep something French in the garage and looking seriously at one of these. Looking for any informed insight into ownership, models, spec, issues etc

    New owner of 449

    Thanks for your kind words Mark. The sale of my much pampered car was just as I hoped it would be with a buyer finding me rather than me having to go through the pains of hawking it around the various sales platforms. I will be lurking around the forum so look forward to seeing how you get on...

    A couple of bits left

    I’ve put the bits that haven’t sold here into the 182 FB sales group but thought I’d offer these last couple of bits here first. A genuine Renault 2 part touch up kit. I’ve never used it but I’ve opened it and the paint is nice and fresh. I think these are out of production now. £12 posted Set...

    It was a roller coaster of a job back then, Yorkshire ripper, steel strike, miners strike, Orgreave, Hillborough, fireman's strike, ambulance strike, prison strike. They don't know they are born these days !!!

    Trophy Sales on Collecting Cars

    Hey Nick, as a young Constable in my first few months of service we were required to work overtime on "Ripper" patrol. This involved night time duty in the nurses accommodation at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital! What a job that was so imagine our despair when a lad I joined with, young...

    #449 off to pastures new

    im on car no 138 since I started driving back in 1976 so I stopped getting attached quite a few cars back 🤣. I’ve still got my Elise and Golf TCR in the garage as well as a few motorcycles so I’ve got plenty to keep me busy. I’m going to put a few bits I’m wanting to sell on here when I get...

    #449 off to pastures new

    Thanks Peter. I thought long and hard about it, Ive enjoyed ownership but did lose interest in driving it over the years and couldn’t see me regaining the enthusiasm to rattle around the lanes in it. It will make a lovely car for the new owner

    #449 off to pastures new

    That's it - my period of Trophy ownership has ended today. I have owned the car 7 yrs and in that time prepared it to outstanding condition but only done 1800miles in it. Its gone to a new owner who I know will get full enjoyment from it and hopefully get a few more miles on it than Ive done. Im...
