With the imminent arrival of my new car the time has come to sell my beloved Trophy. :(

Will "officially" go on sale next weekend, but I'm putting it up here first. Decent pics will follow then, for now these are from the day before the Gaydon meet a fortnight ago, since when I've used it twice (~120 miles).

Tax until March 2010, serviced this August, MOT'd early October (passed without fault).

~28,500 miles. I've owned since April 06 (2nd owner) when it was on 10,900.

Since then, it's been stored in a garage; leathered & dehumidified if ever put away wet. I've almost exclusively used it for 60+ mile weekend trips, virtually no short runs. I have never used it on track, and never driven it hard from cold.
Washed on average every 200 miles. Polished or waxed with Autoglym approx every 1,500 miles.

Service mileages from memory:
June 06: Renault Yeovil - 12,000 miles (no work required)
July 07: Renault Yeovil - 17,000 miles (no work required)
August 08: Renault Yeovil - 22,000 miles (inc. aux belt change, new front discs and pads, rear pads changed at MOT shortly after, new front tyres also)
August 09: K-Tec (R'sport specialist) - 27,000 miles (no work required)

Never drunk a drop of oil, oil looks brand new when due to be changed. Michelin PE2s all round.
Sachs dampers fully serviced by BG Motorsport this time last year (23,000 miles IIRC) then rechecked and a minor fault corrected this June (26,000 miles IIRC). Given a clean bill of health then.

Standard spec, except:
- Variable wiper mod (original stick included - if you want it!)
- Matching spare wheel/tyre strapped in boot.
- Private plate T3 PHY included in sale. Car was registered end Sept 2005, so is entitled to a 55 plate.
- K-Tec matt carbon front splitter

£7,995

The car is now SOLD, to someone who has registered on here and will hopefully be an active contributor to the site.

Thanks to everyone else who enquired.

Three and a half happy years of ownership are over for me.

Yeah, it's actually filthy aleady so you wouldn't want to see it.

Gonna clean it Thursday just before I go to get it Paintshielded in Peterborough on Friday, so then will be a good time to do a photoshoot.

pm_air is another owner coming from an Integra DC2, so that's a nice change too.

Luckily (or worryingly) for the rest of you, this chap seems to know more about Trophies than many of us!

Who else knows what the codes thrown up by the 'secret diagnostic progamme (I didn't know existed)' mean, and how to cancel them?

Annoyingly someone on cliosport did.
