hi all, a few details below,
no time wasters please. price does not include spares such as alternative gearboxes etc as advertised elsewhere where they are included.
Renault 5 GT Turbo Rally Car.
MSA Log Booked for motorsport, yet equally at home on the open road, fully road legal and will be Tax’d and MoT’d for the winning bidder.
This car regularly out performs many much higher powered cars and is exceptionally balanced, and generates very high cornering speeds. It is relatively easy to drive with low lag, power steering and a very quick rack and EFi giving good throttle response and has a very high power to weight ratio.

The car has had a total bare shell rebuild, and has evolved into one of the most capable R5 GT Turbo motorsport cars in Europe, and is well know for class trophies, and hill class records. Every component fitted was new or fully reconditioned. All metalwork was etch primed and enamelled. The pictures show the car in various configurations, please come and view or ask me and I can send hundreds more, and video links.
