Ive seen a few sell recently some for good money others for surprisingly little.
I wonder who owns the most expensive 5.

A minty mint red one sold on PH a few weeks back for 6k
most expensive ones are either completely standard low milage jobbies or ones that have been modified extremely well in the engine department

I love the way the wheels hav 18" written on them.
To answer this you got to ask 'how do you value someones Renault'
Everyones opinion on what makes a car worth more is different so bit hard to say, plus someone will always say there one is worth more than another one
Expensive or worth a lot ? ....two very different things :coffee:
Define 'most expensive'.
What if someone bought their's new for £11k in 1991. Surely that's got to be the most expensive.
i got fed up of saying it :laugh:Quote:

I would have thought that Gianni Santi has put a fair whack of cash into his car!
I've spent a bloody fortune on mine over the years but, my car isn't mint by any means.
Modifying a five is a lot cheaper for me now than it was 12 years ago, I had no internet and bought everything brand new from gt tunings catalogue :cry:Quote:

i have spent sooooo much money on mine its rediculous
£11k new doesnt compare.
and i expect my cab to sell for 10kish when i put it up for sale
Sorry but it will be the Carisma 5. They reckon £50k was put into it prior to the split rear window and garish chrome kit (acording to the mag article at the time which I have at home somewhere). So maybe £53k total thereafter. So whoever owns it now, if it still exists, can lay claim.
Not sure anyone can beat that. Maybe Stu Clarke has spent a fair whack over the years but prolly not over £50k.
Would like to think the vag 5 is up there ;)
Mud's car must of had a couple of quid thrown at it, and Danny's DK Developements car looks like a no expense spared project?
as far as i know jamie shaw still owns the silver beast..... that car was the inspiration for my campus (above) back in the day :smokin:
If not to everyone's taste, both your Campus and Orange GTT are top top quality work and effort bud :agree:Quote:

we dont know what stu clarke & gianni santi have spent though??
also,if we're talking most expensive as in sold for & not spent on,then b5gtt sold for something very close to £18k!!! K-tec's sold for £10-£12k also.
Danny DK has spent a MINTY MINT on that thing, shame it's never made it to a show yet lol. Adam gets regular updates on it, sounds like it's going to be mental!
dident ali g's on sell for 12k after the movie?
I bet the carisma car didn't cost very much to build.
Unless you count labour costs but as that was done as a demo car prob out of work hours and he wouldn't have paid labour the actual cost is prob not as much as you think.
And the stereo and a lot of other parts would be foc as demo/advertising.
It might b a £50k car if a customer paid full retail and labour.
Just to put it in perspective my brake system alone cost me over £3k without any labour costs cos I built it. Add labour and that's another £1500 on top probably.
If I were to add up prices of parts alone I've prob done well over £35k without labour and most of that's mates rates to.
:cry:
God that's depressing £35k in 4yrs and I'm plannin on doin loads more still.
That's a brand new evo x and change.
Or a Ferrari 355 convertible.
But no, I'm in a Renault 5.lmao
