Have a look on the register, not great feedback on it. What did you think of it? Was thinking about having a look myself as not too far away

This is the wrong section for this post but look here http://www.cliotrophy.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/42706-002 I don't like to tar a car but it doesn't make great reading.

I'm a total novice so general condition for a car of its age looked good, not shure about front dampers (leaking oil)
1st car I've seen so need to do a lot more research, want to find the best car possible, like the low number tho worth a look

Did you read the thread above about possible rear end damage?

 

[Craig]

Yes, doesn't sound good, don't think I will bother, is there a way of proving a trophys number ie log book etc
or is it just the sticker on seat? & is there such a thing as the best clio trophy in the country? Condition wise

The car number is not in the log book. Oh yes, a good Trophy will have a knowledgeable owner that has had the front dampers refurbished, and the cam belt replaced and will be open about telling you when and where the work was done. If you ignore these two items, you're gona be spending £1k after you've bought the car. The more documented maintenance work the owner has done the better. These cars are 8 years old now so exhausts, rear dampers, front suspension components will be tired.

sounds good thank you,im guesing the rear dampers are a lot cheaper to sort than the front? are the original tyres still available?
