Hello
For the longer term forum members I may be remembered, over the years having owned and enjoyed 3 Trophy now.
All have made way due to family, house projects or other cars to try over the years .. but now the big “humps” in life are in order, and I’m looking for a Trophy once again. This time to keep until such a time I’m too old to drive it .. simple stuff, just for the sheer joy and fun of driving.
I have a budget £10k give or take. Whilst I’ve been absent from posting too often I keep a keen eye on the forum and cars sales prices through CC and eBay etc and I actually think things have softened a bit and it’s a sensible budget for a decent example. Not chasing a unicorn example that I’d be afraid to drive and enjoy.
Must haves; Correct Sachs dampers, it’s Recaros and Turini’s, by preference be as OEM as possible. But not hung up about sensible in keeping upgrades/changes. Just the car to keep within the ethos of its original approach and character.
I’m not emotional about mileage, I’m going to keep it, I’m really driven by its condition, how its been maintained and its overall service history.
I’d be totally open to a project, car that’s been stored and needs recommissioning as long as the price reflects it.
Hopefully something available, I’ve had a good trawl of FB, eBay, PH, CC etc etc. conscious of what’s on the advertised market. One or two do appeal but not quite feeling it so far. So wanted to come to the Trophy forum Mecca and see what might be possibly available off market
And as a final message. To those Trophy owners who attend Bicester Heritage for the Scrambles. I love seeing your cars but I hold you all entirely responsible for me finding it impossible to see beyond a Trophy. I ve been pouring over your cars at the events all year
.
Oh - and Happy Christmas to all.
