Back in the day it looked sharpe, now it looks a dogs dinner with that yellow and blue clash.
The front bumper is so deep and low that it makes the rest of the car look like its been jacked up, look at how high it sits compared to the front bumper, it just does not look right to me.

IMO it's quite shocking how some 'show cars' End up .... I wouldn't pay a grand for it though.........
The only wide arch 5 i have really ever wanted (contemplated on buying it last time) and now it looks like that!
Thats a real shame, did look nice before untill that stupid bumper was fitted.
It was on pistonheads 6 months ago for £3500
Its gone rapidly down hill since then

i remember when it appeared on the bay about 3-4 years ago?? had been laid up for quite some time & needed some tlc,but it was exactly how it was in the mag feature.
im sure it went for something like £800 back then?

I remember falling in love with it when I bought Max Power with it in (was it alongside the purple Skeete one?). I fear that it may be the end of it now though
Someone from the club buy it, and restore it to it's former glory. Save it from being broken.....
Steve Rae's website is absolute ****ing gold! Genius.
I'm sure this car was sat in the BP station in Dunstable for a while about 5 years ago.
If not it was one just like it.
No that was a different 5 mate, i remember the feature of the green 5 with the purple one (had big spot lamps on the bonnet).

Just got reply, he says he's been offered £950 for it as it is without the Volvo!Good man
Mentioned he would get more breaking it so left it to me.
Think it'll be cheaper building a replica starting with my campus.
Or what we could do is finish the red 5 then start another stupid projectJust got reply, he says he's been offered £950 for it as it is without the Volvo!

This is an excellent thread its really good to see the history of the famous 5's, there are and have been some really special cars mentioned above.
It really gives you the driving force to appreciate these cars even more so...
Keep the pictures coming if any of you have them from back in the day FANTA'5'TIC
well done RTOC.

Looks like another famous 5 thats going to be broken up if it doesn't sell.
Times like this i wish i had a few more pennies (well alot more
Hopfully it will be great again...........one day
First post!
Guys thanks for this thread.
Thanks to this I've just bought B5GTT from John at GT Tuning.
It's still exactly the same spec as it was in the last max power article, and although it's been stored for years its in amazingly good condition.
I plan to use it pretty lightly (but enough to keep it good) as I've got a gtr for daily use now.
Any tips for who to insure it with?
how old are you? if your over 25 phone around for classic with agreed valuation.
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Early 30s, will they insure modified cars though?
yeah alot will. try footman james.
any pic's bud? is b5gtt the silver r5?
No, the silver one was B9 GTT. B5 GTT was THE GT Tuning demo car that was the 1/4 mile record holder for several years. It was originally a Raider (Number 1 I believe - There's a piece of A4 paper confirming it
Say what you like about GT Tuning, the car's a piece of gtt history, and a very big piece at that
It's good to see that it's resurfaced, and I hope to see it one day. Slaterd, hurry up and get it insured, and bring it to our National Day next weekend at Mallory Park
i remember back when i was younger a purple 5 with golf headlights and a split rear screen, i loved that look at the time.
You lucky sod! always wanted B5 GTT, could we be cheeky enough to ask how much you bought her for???
I remember Roly tried selling it years back for a crazy amount. I can't remember the exact figure, but I remember it being typical of GT Tuning's usual pricing structureYou lucky sod! always wanted B5 GTT, could we be cheeky enough to ask how much you bought her for???
It's a legend of a car, and it was my favourite for a long time (back when it was in it's original colour, with TSW Blades)
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Thanks! I won't say how much just to be fair to John, but I'm very pleased with it.
It looks pretty well how it did 10 years ago.
See pic attached, I'll add more once I get it back from getting it's MOT and stuff done.
I won't get a chance to bring it next weekend, but definitely next time..
