Ah nice,I'm a bit partial to some JDM goodness myself.
I think cars like the 350Z will become much more valued for what they offered,not too many smallish coupes that are manual,RWD and V6 up front being made these days.
Damn,that is a hell of an example.
You've clearly cherished and minded it so well.
I'm guessing it cant have been an easy decision to put it up for sale now.
Someone is going to get a top class Trophy,I'm sure you will find someone who will look after it as well as you have.
I'd be pretty happy with that Nick,strange what they did zeroing the mileage though?
I should have bought a Cherry red car, by the looks of it ๐
Red cars are faster and more lusted after,as many of you Trophy owners can attest to ๐๐
@NickReilly063 apologies for this being over on CC, not Iconic.
But, it just looks immaculate....

Coming close to the end of the auction and its going along nicely, ยฃ21,500 now.
@photo_ed your way of putting things is always spot on, that's the word I was trying
to (unsuccessfully) use to describe what I've read so many times and in so many reviews
of the Z3/4's handling and road manners, perplexing.
On paper and in the metal, they look like they have the perfect...
Lovely looking Z4 Nick.
BMW's Z cars have always seemed to be a bit of a curiosity.
They've never seemed to have hitten that revered status for the best handling convertibles,like say a Boxster.
This despite the fact BMW having a pretty long history of giving their more run of the mill saloons...
Tough one Nick....
I would love more than a few from that list, but if money was no object I'd have to select a few (not being greedy or anything ๐ )
Oak Green Mk2 Gti 16V, lovely looking car...
Just curious,the write up for that Focus says it's coming from the previous owner after 7 years of ownership,yet it also says it's only had one registered owner?
Surely it would have more than one,if the last owner only had it for 7 years?
Am I missing something obvious or am I just being that...
I'll be sitting down and watching that in a little while,cant beat a bit of Harry for your Sunday night viewing.
If I remember correctly,the Trophy now belongs to his son/cameraman/sometimes contributor.
He took ownership a year or so ago.
Ford got it so right with the Mk1 Focus RS, that one is a beauty.
For once, I don't think that estimate is close to what it will sell for,
I cant see it selling for anything less than ยฃ35k at least.
Whoever gets it, will gave a cracking car and being such low mileage (verifiable as well)
along...
Looking at the shine of the paint, it must have gotten a respray at some point I reckon.
Ummm....not so sure about the black roof though.
And it looks like it also has the experimental, rear wheel steer option as well ;)
Looking at the shed,it seems to be pretty dry and doesn't look to be damp.
I think theres no pixie dust being used here,its the genuine,time gathered variety ๐๐
The interior looked really good as well from what I saw,and from experience,it doesn't take a lot to make them all mouldy etc. if...
Finally got watching this one from Jonny,really enjoyed it.
Gordon certainly has a pretty decent treasure trove of some great French hits,hiding in there.
Like as sometimes happens,it seems like life just took priority for him.
Be great to see the cars started up and moving again though,Trophy...
I missed the silver one Nick ๐๐ @photo_ed agreed,love the interior.
Very nice car,and again,been well looked after by the looks of it.
@NickReilly063 Not so sure about the new Talbot colour choice on that one,it will certainly be unique and stand out alright ๐
I've never seen Bleu Topaz...
Nice example Nick,clearly been well looked after as well.
I could see it maybe making,ยฃ19k or so,in the current market? (I'm not a fan of that term ๐๐)
Personally,I'd go for a Sorrento Green car,now that is a stunning colour in them I think.
If anyone has money to spend on what you might consider as luxuries, cars, watches etc.
they certainly aren't in as big a rush and as frivolous as a year or so ago, alright.
I think a lot of people who bought cars then, only seeing them as a one way ticket to
making easy money, no matter if it...
I know what you mean Nick.
Sometimes buying a certain car is the easy bit.
Its when it comes to try to find parts that are NLA or have a big price
attached to them or are just very hard to come across, that ownership
becomes that much harder to justify, I think.
Even still, it would be...
While I know next to nothing about prices etc., that seems like a bit of a bargain.
Considering the mileage and the general interest in the Williams, especially the
original series.
Or maybe we've just become more used to these sorts of cars selling for ยฃ20/30k
and even way more, over the...
