Clio Trophy #31 reluctantly for sale, and available for viewing in Leamington Spa (or near Norwich with some notice to get there)
Trophy #31 is looking for it's next enthusiast owner to enjoy owning it as much as I have. A great all round car. Good for motorway work with cruise control, comfy Recaro seats and icy cold aircon. Then when the opportunity arises, it's faster and more fun point-to-point than a little car of this price has any right to be.
I imagine anyone reading this advert is already an enthusiast, but just incase....
The Trophies were a 500 car limited run at the end of clio 182 production. Fitted with sports seats (which lower the driving position a little), and generally high spec, the already brilliant clio 182 was improved even more with some bespoke Sachs remote reservoir dampers, which give them really sparkling ride and handling.
I've owned this car for four years, and it has now covered 91,000 miles.
Mechanical Condition:
Car is factory standard, with Sachs remote reservoir dampers and Recaro seats present and correct. Only non-standard parts are:
- Scorpion 192 stainless steel exhaust silencer, which is a nice balanced sound.
- "Snappy" leather trimmed steering wheel, which is a lovely tactile improvement over the rubberised original part.
Full Service History, with the following recent highlights:
- Full service history with invoices stored in nerd-spec personalised ring binder.
- Full belts and fluids service with Fred at BTM summer '15
- Oil service at Diamond Motors summer '16
- New BCM to cure intermittent "that's not my key" starting fault.
- Dampers refurbished summer '13
- New alternator
- New brake discs and pads all round last year
- Both keys present.
- Mechanically, I believe the car to be exactly as it should be.
- 4 matching Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, all with good levels of tread.
- For the asking price, I'd expect to sell the car with 12months advisory free MOT
Cosmetic Condition:
- T31 PHY "press fleet" licence plate which should stay with the car I think.
- Capsicum red paintwork polishes and waxes up
beautifully, with only the slightest of stonechips to show for its life as a daily driver.
- Immaculate inside with no visible wear to the seats or steering wheel.
- Renault Sport mats.
- Tool kit present in boot
- Headlights are clear and bright, not yellowed and opaque as many are.
Spares:
I've a small selection of spares which I think should go with the car.
- Pair of rear Sachs dampers.
- Car-set of uprated (Mark Fish) springs which were a bit stiff for my taste.
- Pair of alloy wheels (slightly stone chipped)
- New heater control panel
- Spare factory Update List CD stereo.
Whilst the mileage on the car is starting to creep up, I think the condition, history, and spec of the car justifies the asking price of £7850.
I'm torn between wanting to keep this fantastic little car, and wanting to have fewer toy cars to sit idle, but in no rush to sell as a result.
Car can be viewed in Leamington Spa, or near Norwich, and I look forward to hearing from you!
