Renault 5 on Steroids; very quick in it's day but $47,500 seems awfully steep for a minimum reserve for a 30 year old car.

The age has nothing to do with it as it is a low production car with great racing heritage. I would research the market first before I paid that sum but would not be against paying it for a clean/original example.

there are nicer cars avalible from that time period

for example...

same 0-60 as the renault that,

1. buy that for £1-2k and
2.spend 5k doing it up
3 ????
4. Profit.

Look at the milage though!

That Renault didn't have many miles on the clock, i think that's why the price is so big. It's in perfect condition too, it seems.

Yeh but a rebuild would be like £300ish on that lol.

Look how simple the engine is, would be easy to work on.

If that is an original Renault 5 Turbo 2 I would imagine it would command that sort of price.

It was mid engined as I remember, it came out about the same time as the 6R4 and the rs200, they brought around a lot of big rules in rallying because they where so stupidly fast and dangerous.

[texasmr2]

I want both but if I had to choose only one I would go with the R5.

[Jabberwocky]

the 6r4 had the same engine as the XJ220

Minus the turbos though, can't begin to fathom what an even bigger monster it would have been with TT .

as if it would not of been hot enough in the cabin without it!
