This is a Renault 5 Turbo:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980-W-Reg-RENAULT-5-GENUINE-FACTORY-TURBO-1-ONE-LHD-/280696854942?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item415ad6199e

I've only seen two of them on the road in recent years. I know that one of the owners has a second one that's not currently on the road (well, it wasn't the last I heard).

Now, is that the car you were asking about? Or were you asking about Renault 5 gt Turbos? As you can see, they're quite different cars ;)

If you were asking about the gtt's, then this might be of interest to you:

awww the turbo 2?? gawjus one

i got one too but on grand turismo 5:crap:

the gt turbo im on about! :laugh:

[The new Bill J]

awww the turbo 2?? gawjus one

No, just to confuse you a bit further, what I posted about is the Renault 5 Turbo, not the Turbo 2. The Turbo 2 is different again :D

Here you go, if you're interested. Which you probably aren't now that we've established that it's the gt turbo that you're interested in :laugh:

[HEMMO R5T]

sorry my head as jst imploded....i thought that car on ebay was a turbo 2 lol but reading it says turbo 1 lol jhezzz feel a head ache cumming on lol

soo the phase 2 model there 2478 left on the roads
thats not many atall, feeling slightly gutted about that!!
now all we gotta find out how many phase 2/s where sold in this country, then maybe we can calculate how many will be left in another 20 years time, maybe one day they be soo rare they be fetching prices like that turbo 1 off ebay :scratch: lol

Q1, Q2, etc are a running total. You'don't add them up.

[HEMMO R5T]

[Ian S]

Post 1 in that thread in Feb 2009.

This is current DVLA info.

Ian, I posted on another thread the other day that a lot of people seem to be questioning the info on that website. As an example, someone spotted that according to that, there are only 7 (iirc) Evo 6 Tommi Makinen's left, which is complete and utter cobblers!

However, for some reason I can't help but think that the figures Sparkie quoted are too high. Ok, that was a few years ago, and the likelihood is that the numbers will be less now than they were then. I just can't see there being 3,500 cars out there. And if both figures were accurate, then that's one scary decline in less than 3 years :scared:

Will we ever find out an accurate number - Who knows?

[Ian S]

RTOC membership numbers have nearly halved.

Maybe the scrappage scheme took it toll.

There was a thread about this a few months or more ago, maybe Sparkie had another look then, I don't really recall.

[HEMMO R5T]

ok so the numbers are falling rapidly, its not good for the ultimate late 80's hot hatch is it!!

[HEMMO R5T]

RTOC membership numbers have nearly halved.

that could be true or more are being dismantledd for hard to find parts etc

I know people who have left the club, but still own their Renault 5's.

Yes, I'm sure the scrappage scheme probably saw us loose a few. I reckon CGB Bob probably chops up a few a week as well :mad:. Even so, it's still a crazy drop, assuming both figures are correct. :scared:

[Sparkie]

i wondered if the figures i got back in the day were a little high.

we all know a few people with cars who arent in the club, but id say about 1500 is probably about max in this country.
