[quote=m5tt;160956]I know this is most likely diverting the thread slightly but.. I've personally seen more raiders than I have electric blue 5 GT Turbos so if anything they should have been given a limited number !
it more than just a paint colour that makes a raider.
Leccy blue was an option you had to pay more for i think much like black and the pearls
Ohh i thought they may have been production colours. I asume that this is the same as the silver 5gtt's ,And this is the reason for there small numbersOriginally Posted by Adam 005

As for the Raiders, I know the history and there reason for being But what I should have said was some thing completely different (so my bad) , what I was indicating was while reading pistonhead adverts all I ever see is limited number only 1000 made, blah blah but in actual fact I see alot more raiders on there and other places than I do say Leccy blue ones as an example! but i hadnt realised that they werent production colours thus explaining there limited numbers
so thanks for the indication
ALL RADIERS are just normal 5gtt's but with a special colour sceam. end of production tart up to to sell what they have left
nearly all manurfactures do the tart up for end of line production
you mean the raiders aint 1.7 16v like all the ebay adverts?
if you want to be hardcore
buy a megane sport Trophy
400 made only 160 available in the UK
real exclusivity that is!!!!
and i own one, nr 171.
in fact i own the worse f**kin one.
when ive finished with it itll be 171A or a burnt out shell.
thats more exclusive than the raider!, williams 1, clio V6, spider maybe?, R26 R, R26 F1 zzzzz yeah whatever.
i wouldnt mind a Fuego turbo bet thats much more exclusive now! or a gordini R8...

renault 9 is rarer than fuego apparently. need to get round to getting another list done.
449 is the paint code for raider
sports blue is what they call i think
thats a 1.7 but no turbo infact its not even a gtt
GTE all the way and not a Nova in sight...

i have a soft spot for the fuego.
i rekon it would look rather cool being retro and pumping out some good power!
wah!!! no wonder i cant find a 21T quadra on the cheap for a winter knock about!!!
there isnt that many left.
sad day
So the model is a Limited Edition, just not numbered.well this is what i found a while back.pretty intresting imo.the web site is pretty good,realey nice pics if u can find them on there group outings

Yes but if Renault didn't specify a number not to be exceeded, then it's not really limited in any way over and above any other GTT.
Like for example, the electric blue Phase 2 was only available from 1988 to 1989. As far as anyone knows, there was no Elec Blue car built in 1990 (though there may be some registered on a G plate). I'd hazard a guess that the manufacturing window was actually shorter than for the Raider.
I'd describe Raiders maybe as a 'Special Edition', marketed slightly differently in different European countries (Allain Orielle vs Raider etc). Of course even then their equipment wasn't unique (barring the window sticker in the UK) as can be seen when looking at the Euro-only GTE.
Special Edition, maybe a bit like the Monaco or Baccara, rather than Limited Edition. Unless, we can dig up some evidence of a limited number...
knowing renault, they made them until the paint ran out....
It seems that renault cannot get the numbering thing sorted even these days, over on Cliotrophy we now have a fairly comprehensive list of the majority of the limited number of "500(?)" this has thrown up several with the same number and also the fact that Renault has no record of which number went with each car.
The whole limited things abit of a scam, Williams 1 was limited so buyers must have been pi55ed at the arrival of the Williams 2 and 3.
A women mummy knows bought a limited run porker or a special only for them to do another pretty much the same, so the oh so rare one wasn't gonna be as rare as they made out.
It's all a clever blag

williams 2 and 3 were not numberd
[quote=Adam 005;161288]thats right and thats the point, in my eyes it takes away from the limited ones.. after the 1st run sold out they must have thought they missed the boat and shoulda made the limit higher.. oh wait, if we stick a 2 at the end no one will ever notice we're blagging the last buyers.. later sticking on a 3 to really kill off exclusivity..The whole limited things abit of a scam, Williams 1 was limited so buyers must have been pi55ed at the arrival of the Williams 2 and 3.
williams 2 and 3 were not numberd
they could have been more exclusive and have more value without the 2 and 3 knocking about..
are there any myths about the 1/2 or 3 having more bhp over the others, or having parts made of gold, perhaps each car was tested on track by god himself before finishing the pdi check.. im sure there are some people out there that bullsh1t up there williams over the next..
my raider must be number one, as it is the most rusty, and also had a post-it note inside saying 'this is the first one'
