After a couple of years debating this, yes I know! The decision has been made to put the little red one up for sale. It is with a heavy heart as she drives so much better than my Black Gold, and certainly in far better condition but I have too many garage queen's.

44,667 Miles
Mot September 22 (No advisories)
4 previous keepers
2 keys

I have owned her nearly 7 years, as you can tell from the very good MOT history I have only put around 4,500 miles on her in my ownership.

In 2015 prior to my purchase she had a front end respray and alloy wheel refurb, the steering wheel has also been refurbished by Snappy which gets covered if she's out of the garage during the day.

2017 - New aux belt & check over @SG Motorsport

November 2019 - Big belt service and general check over @Select Motorsport

Jan 20 - New windscreen fitted (I wasn't happy with a few minor chips)

May 2020 - New Sach dampeners fitted along with new Mark fish springs. At this time I had the solid top mounts removed, top mount holes welded up and make good then fitted OEM top mounts. Tracking also carried out.

July 2020 - Engine bay cleaned up and painted. New JMRS induction kit fitted along with battery cover, just tidied it up a little nicer. Xenon headlights fitted with genuine Mega Carbon washer blanks. (Originals were not fitted hence the change)

August 2020 - ktec exhaust removed, rear beam cleaned up and rust treated. Yozza cat back fitted.

September 2020 - Arch liners pulled out and cleaned where possible. Dampeners coated and calipers painted in matching red paint, along with Trophy decals on fronts. 10mm Pure Motorsport spacers fitted with the correct bolts Inc locking nuts.

November 2020 - I got a damp passenger footwell! After much dismantling of the car I found the issue! Washer bottle bung where it passes through the bulkhead had come away leaving a gap for water to get in. Bung re fitted with plenty of sealant. Been perfect ever since.

December 2021 - x2 Falken tyres fitted to the front. I couldn't get Michelin tyres at the time unfortunately and it was last minute as I wanted to take the car away the next day!

2021 - A small service has been carried out by myself. Fresh oil, filter & pollen filter.

One wheel has been replaced as one was buckled. The replacement wheel has been curbed which I have managed to touch in. The overall finish is good and it doesn't really stand out.

The car itself is in fantastic condition, there is a pink passenger door handle. I hate body shops, I am yet to find one I am happy with & always come away unhappy. So I have put that off. It is however part of Trophy ownership, if it hasn't got pink bits it's not a real one! Also to note, annoyingly there is a small ding on the bonnet edge/wing. I cannot capture a picture of it though!

History folder with old MOT reciepts & original Trophy CD.

Private plate will be removed. Original registration BG55 WDL

Yozza cat back Will be removed shortly & replaced with the Scorpion cat back with unsilenced centre section, 6 months old. (Currently on my BG)

Non smoker, car detailer and genuine RS enthusiast!

Based in Maidenhead, Berkshire. £16,000 No offers. Plenty more pics available upon request.

Cheers

Well that was a waste of time and arrangements! She's still available. Potential new owner didn't even turn up and now says he can't buy her! Still available.

Firm on price. Cheers

Crikey that’s crap dawn. Personally I would keep hold of it if I was you, especially in the condition you keep your cars in! Thanks Pete

Thanks guys, I would really love to keep it as it's such a nice one but I don't really have the space for her any more.

That's annoying.
I Would wait to see what 001 - the RUK Car - gets on Collecting Cars which went live this morning and will surely set a new world record , then list yours on the back of that in a week or so. You might get nearer £20k if 001 goes over £30k

So Dawn, 001 set a world record at £47,965. You can thank me later for the suggestion you should wait to sell yours :)

Lol madness isn't it! I've driven #1 and wasn't anything special!

Yeah best of luck with the sale Dawn,probably one of the best times to sell on CC after the hype of them selling that record breaker.

I'll be watching with my bucket of popcorn 😉
