Looks good, in some ways I wish I had kept it but I would never have gone into as much detail! I only really bought it as it was in the same town and cheap but I loved having it. Will have to dig out the pics I took with it and Trophy #500.

Sold the Trophy ages ago but still have the following parts:
4 x door cards inc rear speakers - they are very good apart from a few marks and indents in the cloth due to storage.
1 x rear seat back rest and base - a few marks and pulls in the fabric, I bought this thinking it was better than...
Now I no long have the Trophy it is time to sell some spares as follows :
2 x Front dampers + Springs -£400 These came off a 60k mile car, one was gone, the other seemed ok but these are sold for refurb.
4 x Trophy Turninis - £200. I bought these as a spare set, I have never used them. Tyres...
Looks good, you are doing all the bits I wanted to do but never got around to! It was a little unloved when I got it, I spent a bit of time and cash but had all those bits on the list to do! It did have a few coats of dodo juice wax, even the MOT tester said it was good!
Nice to see the old bus getting some tlc, it took a while to decide to sell and I was sad to see it go! It was a great car for me, but I just didn't use it enough in the last 12 months.
I wouldn't take any less, I think it will hold its value well. I have hardly used it this year, on SORN most of the year, taxed it for the MOT and if it doesn't go I will get all the work done and stick it back in the garage.
I would sell mine, 70k miles, MOT just done, but it does need the belts and a service. Would sell for 4K. Only thing not original is the stainless exhaust.
Snappy wheels look good, I bought mine second hand and I think it was one of his. I tried Royal and supplied him with a wheel with poor grips, he originally said he could cover these separately but after a couple of weeks he said he could only cover over the complete wheel so you would still...
I have 2 spare, I bought one that is not so good (it has some marks like glue), which you can have for free if you want it.
It is still ok, but I was hoping for a better one that is currently in the car, and it turns out this one was worse. The other spare is slightly better than what is in...
Will the Trophy springs fit the cup dampers? I mine were rebuilt 10k miles ago and at the MOT they advised a misting of oil, so they need to go back to be looked at.
I wouldnt refurbish unless they are gone, my original pair lasted 50k miles
I had a price of just shy of £800 from Mick @ Diamond for both belts, dephaser, water pump, oil/filter, air and pollen filter and a gearbox oil change. Seems a good price, but a bit of a drive for me!
Somewhere like Silverstone is good as if there are other cars there or racing at least there is something else to see, rather than just looking at The same cars.

I reckon an event with something else on at the same time would be good, it gives...
I could be in the market for dust covers for my spare Sachs, would be good to see some pics of them. My rebuilt Sachs from CF have been on for 12 months and 10k miles, I think I should check them to make sure they are ok.
I think the beeping sound when you lock is the battery in the key fob running out rather than anything serious. Good price though as it has all the right bits!
Just sent you a mail. Cornering force did mine, they have been on the car 12 months and around 10k miles and all seems OK, I think a couple of people had issues some time ago but they were fixed again.
i think a Trophy is more than the dampers, obviously this is the unique feature but I think...
I am thinking of selling mine in the next few weeks, it has done 68k miles, dampers have been done, steering wheel replaced so no melting, aux belt fitted this year along with usual servicing. It is due it's mot in Sept so I will do this before I sell. Camblet is due end of next year on age not...
Nice one, I had planned on a Pure exhaust, I came close to getting one but decided to keep the existing exhaust for a bit longer. I was planning on sleeving the joint after the cat and using their standard system as I did not want to keep changing to get the cat on for the MOT.
I am still...
Good research Marc, I went down a similar route when I did my dampers, I checked with Cornering Force, BG and also got hold of Sachs (ZF) but with no success. My plan next was to try to get them remade, but as I had to get the dampers fitted for the MOT in a short space of time I could not...
I am getting 35-36 mpg on a mix of driving, some motorway, traffic and around town. If I reset the trip and cruise at 65 it gets to nearer 40 mpg. Traffic and around town hits economy.
Try Greenlight. They advertise on Cliosport and we're quite a bit cheaper than the rest for mine (I need business use as it is currently a daily use car). They don't charge extra for minor mods like exhausts.
