All,
Sadly the time has come for me to move on from the Trophy. It's an unfortunate casualty in a series of events and one I wish I could save, however having this and the Vee is out of the question and it'll sorely be missed:
It's had:
36,000 miles - and just had BOTH belts done - auxiliary and cambelt.
Full service - pollen filter, oil and filter, and a PiperX foam air filter in the standard box.
BRAND NEW Renault Trophy fitment Turinis - not the ones you get from Speedline in 'nearly' the same fitment. These were wrapped in Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 tyres, and a full geometry check and adjust performed at ProTyre/Southam Tyres, with printout.
BRAND NEW rear disks and pads.
Nearly new front disks and pads.
Genuine Renault Xenon headlamps.
Genuine RenaultSport Mats.
Modifications from standard:
Engine cover (200g weight saving to make the engine look messy?).
Renault Clio 182 Leather/Alcantara interior (retaining the Trophy Recaros).
Renault Clio 182 Xenon Headlamps
PiperX Air Filter in standard airbox.
All of which I genuinely believe to be 'required' on the Trophy to make it 'finished', however at worst you could call the modifications tasteful. The dampers are all fine (checked and performing normally) and the engine is running absolutely perfectly, pulls fantastically and sounds exactly as it should do with no rattles or taps. The paintwork is unblemished and is regularly waxed with whatever takes my fancy from a list of Dodo Juice, Swissvax and Meguiars waxes. The wheels are (as you'd expect of being 2 months old tops!) unmarked and the tyres barely used.
High-ish asking price due to the fact that many £7,000-£7,500 Trophys are coming up on wanting a cambelt change early next year, or needing mechanical sympathy or cosmetic attention. It's not going to go for free but I'm open to reasonable offers, however I've absolutely no need for any car in part exchange for it - that's the whole reason it's up for sale.
