Have you seen this on Renaultsport.co.uk, Trophy has some pages back here!

Most interesting thing is they note there where 552 total registrations, I that 0/500 for UK and 0/50 for Swiss? does anyone know..

 

[Cue]

501 for the uk and i knew of 50 for the swiss - what's the additional one?

uk no's ran 000-500 and Swiss 01-50 i believe.

I saw this the other day on there but couldn't find it on the site....

 

[Cue]

wait - it states only 500 for the uk..... so does that mean model 00/500 is not a UK car?

 

[tholman]

The plot thickens...

Yeah, seems weird to have 552 as the total number of cars, hopefully someone can shed some light on it - maybe Jeremy T from RUK?

Its quite interesting looking at the figures for sales data that they provide for each model too - i didnt realise there were so few 182 Cups registered.

 

[Cue]

yeh - almost as rare as Trophy's

I posted exactly this on there yesterday, saying that 182 Cups were almost as rare as Trophy's (539 UK Reg.) In fact if you count each colour they are rarer (371 Racing Blue, 168 Inferno?). I had no idea there were so many more 172 Cups than 182 Cups. I thought they were much rarer. Seems the majority of 182's out there are standard 182's with Cup handling packs and Cup spoiler packs.

I'm sure I read somewhere that there were no #13 cars produced.

So 0-500 excl #13 would equal 500 cars, presumably the same in Switz.

Could this be true, or have I just had far too good a lunch again?

You know what, you may be right, which is why there are 500 registered, starting at 0, maybe that's why there is a zero car, because it was actually number 13.

And yes, finishing at 4:35 is a very good lunch, but no such thing as too good.

i had a look and it says 500 registrations....surely the rarest clio of all are the inferno 182 non cup or the horrible petrol blueish 182

 

[Cue]

still doesn't solve why it states 552 Trophy registrations........ there's 500 for the uk - we know that much. but i thought production was bumped up to 50 (from 25) for the swiss market. so what and where are the additional 2?

 

[tholman]

exactly, that was my original point, puzzling isn't it :?

 

[Shabba]

The silver 172 cup is rarer still.
Only 90 registered.
That explains why I've only seen 1, and that had been modified :shock:

 

[Luke335]

There's a French registered Trophy in the car park at work sometimes. I assumed it was imported from the swiss 50? Could have been a special case though (it's the Renault design centre / technocentre). I don't know who owns it though!

 

[Cue]

it makes this one of the rarest cars in the UK.... one of only 33 made. http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/CA ... 1253215276

and that's if the other 32 are still on the road!

 

[Cue]

stick a note on the windscreen to reg on here.

 

[Steve]

What about the Bronze or the acid yellow Vee, only one each of those!

 

[hoolio]

Ouch that hurts the eye. Is that a rover avatar?

 

[Steve]

What? You mean what could very possibly (0.2% chance) be your car on the production line in Dieppe?

If you could see the higher resolution image you would see the piece of paper with the word 'TROPHY' scrawled on it, just in case the frenchies come back pissed from their extended lunch break, forget and put the cheap seats and dampers on it. :lol:

 

[hoolio]

Mmm i've gone redder than my car honest, just looks the wrong shape, longer taller. Still burning.
