Hi Stan, I have just sold my Trophy and I have a 56 Plate Focus 1.6 TDCI zetec. Outdrives any other diesel for the money and still handles (Not like a Trophy but the best you will get for a cooking hatch) Bought mine out of Motorpoint for £9500 with 8K. The Ford will always sell...

Hi Michael, glad you got sorted and hope you have plenty of happy Trophy miles. I bought a 111R and am not sure if I did the right thing. The confidence the Trophy gave was amazing.

I think you have to look at prevoius Renaults ie Clio Williams. A really good Williams 3 with 60K is worth around the 4k and that is for a 13 year old car. The Trophy is better built and not as fragile so I would expect is to bottom out at around 6K for a good car. It is never going to be a...

One of the strongest points has to be that the Trophy is the last of the real hot hatches. ie the new breed are fat and lets face it not that fantastic to drive. Any decent ones are turboed and drink super like its going out of fashion. For someone who knows, a good Trophy will always command...

Thanks guys and welcome to Trophy ownership Sam. Trophy for the long term. If you look at what a good RS Focus fetches today it makes sense to hold on. As the cars get rarer the values will harden and at the end of the day is there any other hatch that will give you the same buzz on the...

Hi Brain, just drove the 111R to Mondello park circuit and back with my friend Mark in his Exige. Giving him the rest of the money next week and will have the car home on good Friday. Have a Focus 1.6TDCI as daily driver as 111R hard work to drive all the time. Drop me a line...

Anyone planning not selling their Trophy and keeping it mint for the long term. I had thought about selling mine and getting 8.5 plus but, On second thoughts a good Williams still makes 3k (1994) and my 1990 1.9 205GTI is worth 2k all day long. So 8500 today and keep it mint and it will...

Hope to have the 111R by end of this month at the latest, mate has 5k deposit from me in the meantime. Really down to how quick I get a Trophy buyer. Really looking forward to a soft top for the summer, thats if we get one in Ireland this year!!

Hi Brian good to hear from you, good to know that there is life outside a Trophy. The S2000 is a great car and fantastic value. My friend who has just bought a new 240R Exige offered me his 111R Elise at a really good price and I cannot resist...

Thanks, one of the strangest sales I have done as I do not really want to sell it. Worst thing to do is to have a good blast in it and then you want to keep it.

Thought I would be keeping this for ever and it would end in the back of the garage with my 1.9 205 GTI. Mate is selling his 111R and I have decided to buy it. I have owned the Trophy from new and pics etc are on Pistonheads and Autotrader. Make me a sensible offer and I can arrange for car to...

Hi, its the one at £9250 (will accept less) with the new brembos and paintshield. Milage is 20100 and it taxed in my wifes name. We are both over 40 and the car is mint. It has completed one lap of the Ring in the wet and an afternoon at Spa, wet also. Also one morning at Mondello in...

Hi Gordon, 369 for sale if you are interested. Its on Pistonheads and Autotrader website if you want some details.

Hi Karl, thanks for that, really excellent. The Elise would be my everyday car plus the wifes Focus,so you have really answered my question. I am really loath to let go of the Trophy as it is so good at everything. Where I live in N Ireland we have lots of fast B roads with little...

Hi Karl, hope you enjoy the Trophy. I have had mine for over 2 years now and was currently thinking doing the opposite to what you have done. My friend is selling his ardent red 111R, 12000 miles pipercross induction & sports exhaust (sounds fantastic after 6000 rpm). I have...

Next months EVO is testing new Corsa VXR,197, MINI, Ibiza Cupra...and Clio Trophy On Europes greatest roads. What do you reckon? Should be a great read.

Pagid RS 42 and brembos grooved discs are excellent for track & road. £300 for the lot via K Tec

Car running on 15s with Toyo 888 track tyres and Brembo grooved discs at Mondello International Circuit. Track was greasy and the Trophy was able to mix it with the quick stuff ie 111Rs and Exiges.

No how you feel, I have just had my trophy scraped by a mechanic at my local Renault dealer while doing the 12K service. They had to sparay the wing and under orange street lamp it is a totally different colour and looks terrible. The dealer is currently in touch with Renault HQ to see what...

Hi Rojer, I am in Portadown. Are you by any chance based in Aldergrove as I once went up there once to see a blue 172 that was on ebay, and one of the guys was hoping to get a Trophy. Glad I went the extra and bought the Trophy. As far as I know there are 2 in N Ireland so glad you can make...

If you are on a B road with bends they never get close. Have you ever noticed the pace you carry on a twisty B road in these Trophys. They seem to cruise at 80 round anything you throw at them.

You are right drexel, Renault dealers are pathetic and do not have a clue about the Trophy.

hi irish boy, correct big Johnny. Went kart racing in the wet with him and he spent most of the time on top of the tyres. Man has a honda ECU in his head!!

Had left No369 in for the 12K service at local Renault dealer and on pick up was told that a minor mishap had occurred. If you call a 4 inch score on your wing a minor mishap. The mechanic had been holding a screwdriver between his legs and accidently managed to put a deep score on the drivers...

Mate of my mind has a CTR and last week comimg back from a kart night he never gained and inch from standing start up to about 130 and then he was starting to gain slightly. By then we hit a few corners, roads wet as well and I was a fresh set of PE2s, and the Trophy left him for dead. He could...

Excellent article by EVO and have to agree totally with the final results. Makes you feel good to own the Trophy.

will be at SPA on the 25th of August and will be doing the Ring on the 24th and 26th. Back home on the 27th Trying out a set of Toyo R888 on 15 inch rims on the Trophy at SPA. Will let you know the outcome.

Spa Heading to Spa and the Ring end of August. I have a set of 15 inch rims with slicks to try out at Mondello Park in May so will let you know what the Trophy feels like with these. Have to agree with you that that for the money what other motor will cope with track and road work like The...

is it worth getting the plastic wings done? Also could you give me details of the dealer you went to as I have been quoted the following: The full kit will consist of, Bonnet, wings, wing mirror fronts, front bumper and rocker panels. The total installed price in euro is 650.00...

Yes, had to go for a back road blast after reading EVO and yes this car is awsome! for 13K
