Correct, was at a car show a few weeks ago

Only interested in a Trophy

Just spoke to the garage and usual selling for a friend of the owner and zero movement on price. Think it needs easily 3k spend on it to bring it up to standard of where if should be.

Nice to know these aren't bad for rust. A car the is only a few years old will have rust just the way if the world. Nice to know it didn't have a MOT and exhaust was super loud. Would need to get both of those sorted if I'm going to proceed with it. When was the Timing Belt last done, would it...

Was there a Trophy specific gear knob, not that it bothers me. Spent 2 years chasing ones for the Impreza so not going through that again. The one fitted looks nice but more things to batter on price 👍

My plan of attack is to check to see if there is any movement on the price of #187. As I would expect you want to do the full belt service and rebuild suspension so then I know it's all good. Which is easily well over 2k of work it needs

I shall make enquiries in the morning, Thanks for all the help and kinda makes sense was the rear window sticker that brought me here.

So just to confirm we are in agreement that I should look into 187 more and seems like a solid car. My worry with eBay 7k one is rust. Can't buy another car with rust issues, my mental health and bank balance can't take it.

Definitely interested and am very much in the camp of replace it when in there,

Having spent an obscene amount on parts for the Impreza I know how much things have just sky rocketed in the last few years. Need to have a chat with them about #187 as needs 2k + spent on a service and rebuild of suspension. Which will be 3k easily went finished.

Full set of belt is a few hundred quid.... I assume the 1k price is fitted 😁

Are there any Clio experts in Yorkshire as would like the have #187 inspected. ( I assure I need more than the usual RAC inspection) Wonder why the dampers are off it and is everything there to go back on, apart from usual bushes, worry is that something rare is missing and won't be noticed till...

Who would be best to get a pre purchase inspection done. Worry is rust or how are these with it. Edit. My worry about the 7k one is the slight rust and why so cheap. It's seems a bargain which worries me

Yes,I live just north of Dublin. Hopefully the club won't be upset with one of the #numbers heading across the water

I'm figuring a max of 12-13k hence why I'm looking at #277 as milage isn't too high.

Had a read already. I know it will need money spent on it to keep it right. Have had this discussion with friends who want to buy fast cars but expect to be able to run them on a budget. Still trying to financially recover from getting this sorted, still loads to do but the base is solid now.

187, That's a good point but after the last car I bought with my heart costing me a small fortune to sort out I'm a bit more careful. ( See profile pic 😁) Does have the advantage of Cup suspension for winter and get the Sach Dampers rebuilt over winter for a full suspension refresh in the...

My worry about 187 is why has the timing Belt not been fitted in over a year (been left in boot)and the dampers not on the car. Doesn't scream it's been cared for

I have seen it on Auto Trader and 19k is just more than I'm willing to spend. Id sooner get a Boxster or a Cayman for that money I'm looking at this one at the moment, 187 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202404249007572

My brief when rebuilding the Impreza I have is it will be used a lot in winter so the Trophy won't be used much when wet and cold. I'm in the lucky position to be able to have a okay back up car. So I know quiet a bit about the pain rust can cause.

Ive been thinking of getting one for years but wrote off my daily driver on Friday, everyone was ok but car is destroyed. So ran though options of what to get and Trophy is just top of the list. Should have a hire car for a few weeks to tide me over and frantically trying to sort out money at...

I assume the salt and such is horrible for them in the winter. For those days I just take the Impreza as just nearly finished a full rebuild on the removing so much rust. Are BG Motorsport still available to rebuild them as what makes a Trophy special is those dampers. Just trying to figure out...

Hi all, After coming very close to buying one years ago, ended up buying a Impreza STI RA V3 but after destroying my daily on Friday in a crash (everyone ok 🙏). So Im in the market for one of the most special hot hatches ever. What should I be looking for as seen some with the Sach suspension...
