Should be a good price for these and an excellent item for someone wanting to experience decent handling!

8) :lol:

Yep, interesting indeed - you dont see these coming up for sale that often. Think i'll add it to MyEbay just to see how it goes....

Cue · Oct 23, 2006

oh dear i fear the worst - I think these may be of one of the cars totalled at Cadwell, Sure he was from E Anglia Area.

Steve · Oct 23, 2006

There's something definitely wrong with me, but I found it painful looking at those, like looking at two amputed body parts from a road accident victim.

On a lighter note, will be an absolute steal for someone looking to upgrade their suspension.

cit-ren is the seller and they've sold a few bits and pieces from damaged Trophy's. it was also them that had the damaged Trophy up for sale a few months back that set off a debate about how much it'd cost to repair it.

i've mailed them earlier on trying to find oout what number car the suspension is from......

Cue · Oct 23, 2006

yeh, they'll have been a close breakers that the car was taken to though I would have imagined - can't see them buying them off another breaker, but you never know.

If they're off the first one that was crashed I'd stay well clear of them, The front n/s wheel was ripped off in the crash :shock: Can't have been good for the dampers.

hard one to figure i guess. they seem to specialise in citroen and renault so perhaps the car was transferred. alternatively, the suspension could be from the car they previously advertised?

They don't look in pristine condition do they? Probably impossible to tell if they're fooked 'til after they're fitted too.

However buys 'em could get 'em serviced and then post on here how much it ost 'em to get it done :idea:

I wonder if the breakers realise they've got nearly Ã‚Â£3000 worth of dampers sitting there?

Cue · Oct 25, 2006

yep, they specialise in reno's - i'm fairly certain it was this lot that sold the ones a few months back to K-tec.

Lee G · Oct 29, 2006

Not a bad price - Ã‚Â£295 in the end. I'm sure we'll see them again soon :wink:

artdealer · Oct 29, 2006

If you see another set let me know

I'm in no rush and there's no point bidding this stuff up. I want to put a LHD 'Trophy' together for export.

Is it yourself thats bought the dampers then Lee? That ebay id looks familiar....

I wonder whats in store for these dampers.......

Lee G · Oct 30, 2006

Yes mate, they're my babies!

I'm not sure exactly what to do with them yet. Over the next 12 months or so, I'm going to be a bit busy with work, so they may well just sit in the garage for a while. I suppose the longterm plan would be to buy a 172 ph1, completely strip it out, put trophy suspension on it and better brakes, and then finish it off with some TB's, cams, decent exhaust with a 182 manifold and sports cat - ready to run as a bit of a hardcore track monster :twisted:

Cue · Oct 31, 2006

oh yes baby, great plan. get a roll cage fitted though - and get one those lihtweight alloy bonnets, saves a ton of weight on the front end.

Lee G · Nov 2, 2006

Just a quickie to say that the legs have come off a Trophy that has had a major shunt up the rear!

If anyone remembers there was also a pair of Trophy Recaro's on flee-bay a month or so ago, these came from the same car.

Cue · Nov 2, 2006

so is that 5 or 6 Trophy's that are dea now? I've lost count
