Rally/Racing R5 whereabouts

[Magsimus]

Sup fellas. Happy New Year!

Not sure if in the right place for this enquiry, but anyone know what happened to the Renault 5 (wasn't the GT Turbo) rally/racing car that was up for sale about 6-or-so months ago? Not sure what model it was, but it had a race pedigree, single seater, was around £1,500 and, using my best girl description, it was blue and yellow with pretty racing stickers on it :D

Cheers.

I can think of alastairs car which was baby blue but was nearer £10k I think

Think it was more early 80s R5 Alpine shell, not sure if turbo'd.

Was a bit like this but lighter blue:

This one?

[Magsimus]

A) Sorry the picture in my previous post didn't upload.

B) Glad the picture didn't upload as that is indeed the car I was referring it to and it has absolutely no yellow on it, ha..

Great looking thing, did it have a 1.4 GTX engine? Wondered what happened to it as I thought it was up for sale at a reasonable price when it went.

Cheers for hunting it out :D

Yeah, that's the blighter. I remembered it being up for £1,500 or did I get that massively wrong as well? Great looking car.

Bumper was yellow in some pics and the price was £1500 according to the above advert.

Sam fish was selling this one but the wife said no at the time
Think he kept it in the end

[Magsimus]

Rarity that the woman is the one saying not to sell it - my mrs is always moaning at me to get rid of mine, ha.

Good for him for keeping it.

[youngscottie]

My wife said no to buying it:cry:
Not the other way about

[Magsimus]

Ahh right, that makes much more sense, ha.
