Well after years of wanting a R5 i've eventually got one. I picked it up from swindon this morning and drove 250+ miles home without any issues at all. Which i was surprised with :eek:

I managed to get the original Raider wheels thrown in so ill be sending them off to get refurbished and put back on the car. Im also going to source an OE interior and start tidying her up. She's had no engine mods apart from exhaust, air filter and dump valve (which will be going) I plan to keep it as standard as possible and make it a nice clean example of a raider.

Ill get more pics up once i've gave it a good clean down.

cheers

Looks like a nice car well done on finding it :agree: as said a standard grill would smarten the car up no end. :)

Good luck with her.

Swindon? Where was that hiding?!

In his garage for the past 6 years :D he rarely used it hence the reason it's in good condition. I don't know his exact location but it was near the magic roundabout haha
