Renault 5 GT Turbo
16-08-2012, 00:58
Registration date: 04.10.1990

Purchased new from Delta Motor Co. Renault Maidenhead by its first owner, a lady from Maidenhead, Berkshire.

Options specified:
- 608 Tungsten Grey
- Renault Britax Sunroof
- Carpet Mats
- Boot Liner
- Locking Wheel Nuts

I have known this car personally since 1998 when I used to work in the outskirts of Maidenhead, the lady used to drive past sedately and park up at her home in a nearby road, where it resided for over 19 years in her ownership until I purchased it on 26.06.2010.

I am now sadly faced with selling the car due to a sports inflicted injury to my left knee, meaning I can never drive a manual car again, doctors orders not my choice.

The car drives impeccably and is everyday reliable. For the second year of my ownership, it has been in daily use as my sole car. It has taken me all over the country on business trips to cities including; Manchester, Birmingham, London, Brighton and Bornemouth. I had fully intended to be at this years National Day but my knee would not allow it!

The car is in truly excellent condition and comes complete with; owners wallet, IR remote central locking, full set of keys with supplying Renault dealer key fob, four original carpet mats, unopened Renault Boutique boot liner, Renault Boutique locking wheel nuts, tool kit and an autowatch Thatcham Cat 2 immobiliser with certificate that was installed in 2000 for insurance purposes.

There really is nothing the car needs, it is ready to be driven and enjoyed.

Thats a real shame to hear about your injury mate, to hope you recover from it

I can vouch this is a very clean and well maintained car, prob one of the cleanest cars i've seem and had pleasure to work on.

Yes Dave is alittle fussy but with a car like this has good reason as he only wants the best and to keep it to the best standard possible! ;)

Well worth the money and a pleasure to drive/own for the new owner :agree:
