what u guys think????
truth i dont mind iv got a good car as it is and didnt really wanna sell but then i did and now ive gone totally off the idea.

Depends why it's failed the emisions test, if it's got the original cat and exhaust it should pass easily so you should probably beware, but it could be because someone has put something aftermarket on there. ASK.


Have you driven this car yet?

Sounds pretty dodgy, unless as hoolio says it's been modified.

Mind you, looking at your other threads really wondering why you're so keen on a Trophy.

If you insist, though, I'd try to go for one that's known on here, at least you'll be buying from a genuine enthusiast who's looked after it lovingly and where the car's past is known.

Have a chat with artdealer, he's got 2 now which look good and I reckon you can't go wrong with him, but there's some private sales which look tempting right now too.

Why bother with one where you have nothing on it's history?

it should only fail if the cat has been changed - how much did it fail by?

you could try the trick of getting the cat really hot by driving like a hooligan in 1st gear everywhere before the test.
