Newbie looking for a 5 turbo

First post!

Hello one and all

Owned a k-plate 5 turbo about 15 years ago- been through loads of cars since then, mainly performance renaults, had a 172 Clio, 2 Megane R26's - 1 of which was in pfc mag 3 times last year - was samco's demo car and also streamline carbon's demo car - sold it back last November and now want a new project

Learned alot over the years and feel more comfortable buying another 5 now I'm a bit older and a bit better off financially etc

So looking for a 5 preferably with a very good engine but not overly worried about body work as want to paint it lunar grey (as with the v6 Clio and megane r26r) - though don't really want anything rusty and falling to bits

I've pm'd bigdur about his black one but anything else you might be thinking of selling let me know - money waiting - don't seem to be any minters up for sale at the mo - ideally I'd like one that's been restored and I just need to put my mark on it

Admittedly its clean but its alot of money that grey one - if the engine had been worked on Id jump at it but with it being totally standard Id have to spend a fortune getting it how Id like.
Ideally id like one like Johnny5's - Engine is spot on (to be fair whole car is spot on) and then I can get the engine removed, tidied etc and have the whole shell painted in the new colour.
There is a grey one on ebay and also on here for £2500 odd but rear spoiler and bumper are putting me off I think
Im a bad OCD sufferer and everything needs to be right - im sure a perfect one will crop up
Oh and I live in Cardiff so the closer you are to me the better - Essex (colchester) is a bloody long way! does look a good one that raider though

in the meantime this was my meg

got offered good money for it - sold it for what I bought it for nearly 5 years earlier. Admittedly had spent thousands on it but seemed like a good idea - wish I hadnt sold it now but never mind!

One thing that always annoyed me with the megane ( not the cars fault) was that my garage is behind my house and the meganes are so wide I was too scared to try and get it past my house - an R5 would fit without even slowing down! lol Be nice to be able to have a proper project that I can put away for the winter etc

oh and if I get a 5 and go for the Lunar Grey paint Ill be going for the Steel Grey Samco's too - should look good

Just gave him a ring - he had a few for sale but doesnt advertise them so difficult to see what sort of condition they are in etc over the phone - have asked for some pics

And at least he is trusted on here so if you do travel all that way you know it will be exactly as described

Worth spending a bit more and buying off mike. Good honest bloke, I bought my car off him and would certainly buy again from him.
