It seems we have a minor Twitter celebrity in our midsts. A serial supercar owner (911 GT3 RS 4.0, McLaren and other exotic metal) has purchased a Trophy. No idea which number he bought. Has anyone sold a very rich chap from Hertfordshire a Trophy lately?

In his Twitter feed he was asking about where to take the Trophy for specialist servicing and K-Tec were mentioned. I've a feeling he and the people suggesting K-Tec haven't been on the Clio scene for long. If I was based in Hertfordshire I'd be straight off to Mark Fish. Who know's if he'll make an appearance here.

One thing I noted is he's considering changing the exhaust from standard, so that likely limits the ones that were for sale in good condition. Knockers stolen and recovered one perhaps? Low mileage, excellent condition, original exhaust and cheap for a wealthy purchaser...Kent to Hertfordshire not far.

Believe from the Facebook group that #000 is owned by Mike Kingsbury, complete original example except rear exhaust silencer on 82k miles with Renault FSH and invoice from when Renault UK sold it to previous owner, HT05 ???.

Maybe it was the Irish one? was listed as deposit taken recently

Maybe it is. I doubt spending the capital is the concern for the guy. Having and maintaining a super example will be.

A thread has been re opened to cover 000. User name Millers owns it. RSDriver00's name seems to be Richard. He's building a whopper of a house which he's blogged about via his Twitter feed.

The guy that bought mine did turn up in a 750bhp M5 !!!! But lived 30 minutes away from Castle Combe.

I guess your purchaser wasn't called Richard either. I suspect Mr RSDriver will remain a mystery. Would be nice if he made an appearance to say hi and let us know which one he's got. If Harry Metcalfe can say hi, anyone can.

Mr Perfection Valet, Richard Tipper, had a crack at this mystery Trophy this afternoon. It was posted on his Twitter feed. From the photos I saw it looks very original. Was likely once a forum users car as it had a trophy.co.uk sticker in the back window. The seat base on the driver side has a Recaro sticker on it. Richard kept blue masking tape on the vehicle number and number plate, quite why the owner is concerned about the identity I don't know.

It does look like a nice original car. The steering wheel is clearly original as it's melted to hell. Looks like it might be kept at Hamilton's in Hertfordshire. Great car storage if anyone's looking for a safe home for four wheels.

This Trophy was moved today to our mystery owners home. Reg on display on Twitter and Instagram. Whichever Trophy number has the reg LV55LHD is his.

It shares a home with some excellent choices of cars for a mini collection. Certainly a few that would make my fantasy garage.

According to the MOT enquiry website it's MOT expired Dec 2015!
