'Cos its an ultra low-mileage mid-engined, rare (one of only 3500) Renault5 Turbo2. One in this sort of original condition is rare enough to find. Price may go higher because of the condition & originality. They have a fairly illustrious competition history & partially designed by marcello gandini. They were based on the Group4 Turbo1, but cheaper to produce. Standard tune about 160bhp but can be tuned up to 330bhp plus.

Still a Renault tho..

Putty around the sump plug? :p

+ Drivers door hinge pulling out of door - had been filled, washered up and still knackered - the guy nearly had a heart attack when we asked to look behind the door card.
+ Had no brakes
+ release bearing noisy
+ 2 bolts wrung in the sump
+ plated floor - badly done
+ suspect cracking on bodywork - how mush filler is really in there

Wasn,t really into the guy giving me a tin of paint that he used to "touch-up" the paint.

Still, offered him 4k and he said no - so we stepped.

Ratty is right - I am a fussy fucker

Quite a pretty looking car though, nice colour and good interior.
