i had a brand new flame red mk2 172FF, it is still in the family as the mrs has it now,
a couple CTR's, A focus RS, 182 cup and now the trophy.
trying to talk the mrs into selling her flame red and buying a trophy se we can be greedy and have two.
steve have you considered a 306 rallye. there are a few good ones still about and are a good quick little hatchback. leave you with change to pay off your loan.
i paid £10k for a 55 reg,1 owner , 9400 miler which IMHO was a good buy.
there does seem to be a few sale at the moment so he might have to reduce his price a bit to generate some interest.

i'm trying not to become so obsesed with the trophy but all the signs are there, on a weekend it goes in the garage and i use the g/f's 172, i stay with it when we go to the supermarket, i am forever checking it over making sure everything is as i left it.
hi luke
very happy with the trophy, it is really nice driving about and not seeing another one on the roads. i recently sold my garage queen FRS, and on the odd ocasion i drove that about i always saw another one about.
i love the colour of the car and the recaro's are superb far...
was having a look under the car and noticed the rivets holding the sills have gone rusty and IMHO look nasty.
i am thinking of getting some bolts with nyloc nuts paint them red and replace the rivets with them.
i think it will look far better than what is already there.
good idea or not?
they seem to be good no fade ,he also changed the brake fluid to DOT 5.
i have the receipt for them and they cost £280 all in.
the only thing i will say is there is more pedal travel at the moment, i think they may need bleeding again which is on my to do list for Saturady.
not...
got some nice pics yesterday from the mrs camera but forgot my card reader so had to use the company camera. its a bit old.
