4 that I've seen! Stu has a mid-engine one, there was stuart beals old wide arched 4wd one, there's a front engined RWD white one and a local company to me was building a yellow mid-engine that may or may not have ever seen the road.
i saw a yellow mid engine one at the pod about 3/4 years ago
I'm sure from memory there was a twin cosworth r5 but memory also serves it went up in flames many years ago.
yes you are dead right if only that shell was sill around
That was Stuart Beales 5 that Scoff mentioned.
It was basically a Sierra Sasphire Cosworth floorpan shortened to accept a Renault 5 body ontop of it, no twin engine/turbo combination. It had a wide arch Skeete kit fitted to accept the wider track of the Sierra wheelbase.
It did die in a fire, not too sure what caused it but not much was left, remember seeing a pic of the burnt shell ontop of a container in a scrap yard
There must be video somewhere of the twin engine 5 doing a lambo, seen it once but no look with it on youtube
Seen a vid of a twin engine r5 with cosworth lumps doing a sprint with a lambo, it was on a dvd.
ok bud, my memory must be playing tricks on me, i know i have the magazine with pics of twin cosworth r5.
Come to think of it if that car exists i can't see how it would work though, being both engines are designed to run as RWD.
two props and squeezing the diffs somewhere and flip one? lol not possible.
spotted this earlier.....
how many were there?

there was one in a scrapyard near me (furbers) that was a cosworth engined 5 as i remember it from my younger days of tatting at the scrappy all day,lol, as far as i can remember is was a front wheel drive cossy 5 with a dimma kit, was burnt out im sure of it and gary the gaff at furbers had it sat ON a container out the way for years but as soon as i bought my 5 it was gone, cant remember the colour, does this ring any bells??
my 17th birthday was spent at furbers getting parts off a gtt to add to my lil 5 was a pretty trashed gtt
Ahh my bad, I saw the pics on THIS thread and when you mentioned it on Sat i put 2+2 together and got 5.
2+2 = 22
