So its time for me to part with my 197 after 4 happy and sad years (last year very sad, lots of bills and bad motoring luck)
But I’m not straying far. I only went and brought a 275 trophy.
Sheer dumb luck stumbling on this car. My windscreen wipers packed in on Wednesday. I was driving past a Renault garage near my work (on way to M25) and decided to park, wait out the rain and get a price on a wiper motor/linkage.
Whilst that was being done I was talking to the service guy about renaultsports and he says that they have just had an ex Renault fleet 275 trophy in to be sold. One test drive later and I’m in love.
I go home that night, do my figures to make sure I can afford it. Take my dad to see it the next morning (because my dad has to see my cars before I buy them, I’m still his girl and he has to make sure its a ’safe’ car XD) and its all mine.
Pick it up next Friday (due to my work schedule) and cant wait. Clio goes in as part ex same day. They actually gave me top value for it considering the 110k on its clock.
My old 197

the new 275 trophy №006
6k mileage, 10 months old, 1 owner and packed with all extras. 19 inch alloys scare me a little tbh lol
