I didn't realise that our Trophys are Orange :?

If you go to the traders website they list it as being 173/500 :wink:

Strangly though they also list it as a 1.8 :roll: :lol:

nice little markup there - i paid £10k for 003 with slightly less mileage...

What a horrible advert, Orange? Graphite wheels? Try Capsicum Red and Anthracite (A completely different allotrope of carbon) Going on about air conditioning and shit rather than the dampers and the fact it's the best drivers car to be had for £15.5K new. (oops, can of worms).

Can someone please buy it and have it vacuum wrapped so it will last forever, only taking it on a spirited drive a couple of times a year to keep the engine good. That way when i'm eighty and bored of hydrogen fuel-cell robotic minibuses, I can buy it and re-live my youth.

I wonder how many of the 526 Trophy's will be left in 10, 25, 50 years? How many of the 500 Williams 1's are left? Does anybody know? I bet a good third have been over-ended or whored out with dustbin exhausts, lexus tail lights and 22 inch halfords rims, (No offence King Stromba)

Idiots how can you say its a 1.8 when its writen on the door ffs!! doesnt give a good rep to the garage if they dont have the adverts straight! :evil:

I expect the person that put the details on the website is

A: On less than 15k per annum
B: Female
C: Not a car geek

I've worked in car dealership and it's normally the secretary that looks after the website!

 

[matt the cat]

its not no1 - its 1 of 500 doh!

its not no1 - its 1 of 500 doh!

Nice bit of wording that.

Renault UK have retained number 001 for their collection. Along with Mk2 V6 001 and Williams 0001.

Who's got 000/500? I remember reading about it, that's why there are 526 or 551 in total, I also heard another 25 went to Switzerland after the first 25. Might be bollocks though.

What happened about that mysterious plaque that someone on here had? it read 46/50 or something weird.

 

[cardealer]

I read that as one of 500.
