    Trophy Sales on Collecting Cars

    I am missing #430 but TBH I’m enjoying being able to get off the drive without tricky manoeuvres now that there’s a bit more space. Re earlier question the CC contact to suggest a lower reserve was a telephone call on the morning of the auction end, and an IM 5 minutes before auction end. If...

    Trophy Sales on Collecting Cars

    Hello. Just some quick observations on selling #430 via CC. First, I think if you’re selling a stand out example then CC provides unparalleled exposure to the collector enthusiasts, and so it’s worth using. I felt bad about not using Pistonheads auctions as Ben L there was a Trophy owner but...

    Low mileage, one owner Trophy for sale soon

    Thanks all for your encouragement and interest. I'm pleased with the outcome, which I think was at a fair price, but equally sad at the end of my ownership and of all the good times I've had with #430. All good things though... And I've promised myself and J that I'll spend more time on family...

    Low mileage, one owner Trophy for sale soon

    All I've taken the difficult decision to sell my owned from new Trophy. I'm simplifying my life and reducing the number of cars on the drive, and in doing so the time commitment to use them all as intended and to keep them in top condition. The car is #430/500. There's lots of details of my...

    T22PHY Registration For Sale

    All. I've taken this VRN off my Trophy and have put it on retention whilst the Trophy is off the road having its Sachs refurbed by BG. I'll be putting it on other forums and with a reputable plate dealer if no-one on here is interested after a week or so. I've had the plate valued and I'm aware...

    Best car battery for 182 Trophy

    I'm after a new battery. The T has that problem whereby the battery fails to recharge properly, but I'm buying my new battery in advance so that I can jump start and limp to TwoTechs. What's the latest recommendation on battery choice please? A decent brand not super-budget. Thanks

    Trophy Price

    I’ve just insured my 49K miles owned from new, standard parts T for £12K agreed value. Although I suspect it’s more like a £15K car nowadays.

    #42 on Collecting Cars.

    Blimey just saw how high the bidding had gone. £20K anyone for my one owner 48K mile Trophy with a T**PHY number plate? (I wouldn't really sell it BTW)

    Trophy on Pistonheads - £15,995

    I'm agreeing. The same thing is a happening in the used Porsche market. I sold my high spec 981 Spyder a couple of weeks back and the guy who bought it has probably already made money (before you ask - my other half insisted on a "family fleet rationalisation" as I'd found myself with 6 cars and...

    It's the car that used to be T22PHY. I bought the plate off the owner.

    Yaris Gr

    My Toyota dealer said that Shmee (of Youtube over-excitement fame) had borrowed their demonstrator to make a video. I'm not sure that there's many of these cars in the hands of Joe Public as yet. Seen one at Romans near me at £5K overs.

    Yaris Gr

    Black. I don’t like the Toyota red - reminds me of a Prius or that nasty Mazda colour that the elderly tend to like (no offence intended to any elderly Mazda owners reading this!) And I’ve had my fill of white cars (my 981 Spyder is white). This is a rock n roll car and needs to look mean. So...

    I've got a Circuit Pack one on order. I will let Litchfield do their worst with it and then see how it compares with the Trophy.

    Renault Headlights

    I had new OEM ones fitted in June 2019. FWIW they cost £287.40 + VAT for the pair. I believe that non-OEM similar items were around £120 + VAT a pair. Evidently the OEM ones have the silver/grey surround but the non-OEM ones have a black or otherwise darker surround.
