Hi all,
Can't quite believe i am doing this, but 007 and i will very very sadly have to part company. Reason being that the Mrs and i are saving for a new house, she has sold her Mini and is saving like mad and truth be told me keeping a 2.0 hot hatch isn't going down all that well. I also have a new job meaning lots of mile crunching, and i just can't justify putting thousands of motorway miles onto 007.
I haven't looked at alternative transportation yet but i expect i'll be going for a Golf TDi or TDCi Focus or something for the forseeable future.
Anyway:
- 64k mainly commuting 15 miles per day on A-roads- i rarely get time or opportunity to stretch her legs these days! Still used daily so mileage will creep up but will not use it as much as i can.
-Modifications:
ITG panel filter, Brembo HC discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads, Goodridge stainless hoses (nice firm pedal feel and phenomenal braking power), pads have loads left and discs will be good for another 6 months i reckon. Also Philips X-Treme power high density bulbs- MUCH brighter than OEM ones.
- Pilot Exalto 2s all round, fronts have fair bit of tread left, rears a little lower but if you're an RS Clio owner you'll know the rear tyres and brakes last a long time. Always run on Shell V-Power.
-Interior is immaculate with virtually no signs of wear (apart from the old steering wheel melting on part of the wheel) Recaros are in superb condition, as pictures or an inspection will confirm. All 100% standard, including stereo etc. HPI clear.
- FSH- all with Renault until around 48k then done by my local garage since then who is a registered Porsche specialist and always do a superb job (i trust them more than Renault, anyway)
- Damper refurb has not been done yet, firstly as i have had them checked and the seals seem perfectly ok (as i said earlier the car has had a very easy life on A-roads commuting and not that much usage on weekends). I was just going to wait 'til one of them failed, but the car handles a well now as it did the day i picked it up at 39k so i thought it a needless expenditure to be honest.
- Valeted every week without fail (apart from in the snow!) Couple of minor cosmetic things a new owner might want to sort as all cars have but nothing much (£100-150 will probably sort the lot) though i have kept it in the best condition i possibly could!
- Private plate T700 PHY that will be sold with the car and included in price. Also included will be a spare PE2 tyre with around 3mm of tread left and also a car cover (not for long-term usage but does for a weekend away to protect from bird muck), oh and a boot rubber floor mat.
- MOT 3 months; Tax 3-4 months
Great chance to own the first non-media numbered Trophy, which i have been very lucky to own as i believe this is the best number of the best version of the best model hot hatch ever made.
Price- Open to Sensible offers
Pictures will not be available until saturday and will then be available on request to a valid email address, but if you are reading this i guess you know what a Trophy looks like!
Genuinely saddens me to do this, but i know for definite this will not be my last forray into Renaultsport ownership. It's been an absolute joy to own and still don't want to sell!!
