I read that thread mate, real shame and one of the best colours to have a 5 in tooOriginally Posted by Big Steve - Raider
How many Renault fives did Renault produce ? Cgb chops a few and there is alot on eBay and there must be a fair few around still which the older genertion have ? ?
Don't ask me where i read/heard it from as i can't remember but read/heard that 16000 Renault 5 gt turbo's were originally made in total.
Right or wrong i'm not sure, sure someone out there may know better than me
I have an Electric blue 5 on a G plate. I've yet to see another.
If the punter who traded that 5 had not yet taken delivery of his/her new car, im sure that guy could have bought it. We 'saved' a few cars when i worked at Merc that were due to be scrapped. As long as the punter gets the 2 bags, what do they care if its scrapped or not? We spared a MGBGT and a very tidy golf tdi.
This 5 could and should have been saved. Idiot dealers.

so... not many left then....
There are 83 left in the UK, not counting Northern Ireland.
So what?
This is correct if they have been paid out on the scheme they need to be scrapped. A R21 Turbo round here was scrapped, no mater what I said or money I offered it had to go.
Yea the electric blue gt turbo i sold to wayno is the only one ive seen in a G reg, all others have been E.
that thread on r5gtt was me ...i went to get the car and they said i couldnt take it due to it being scrapped... landed my mate in trouble(he's the salesman) as i salvaged a few bits off it
. what i was going to do was find out the scrappy that it went to and possibly save it ... it had not MOT,tax ...underside was mint ...bonnet was rusty and bumper was stonechipped to hell. Engine was totally standard..it even had the heatshield over the manifold and turbo. It had 19k on the clock ...interior was mint ...Really gutted that it was traded in ...the old guy had the car sat in his garage since 1995
scrappage is rubbish!!!!!!!!theres an old boy thinking of buying a clio at work.if he does hes going2 scrap a 21turbo quadra!!!!FOOL!!
My point was made based on a situation where the customer hadnt collected the new car yet. This would mean the scrappage claim forms had not been sent/completed.
We spared cars when, customers said they wanted to use the scrappage scheme, we based the deal on the 2k scrappage allowance then sourced buyers prepared to pay 2 grand for the car. Turned the deal to a straight p/x with the agreement of the customer. After all, all they wanted was the 2 grand! A lot of people simply go to scrappage based on the age of their car rather than looking for someone to buy it. Dealers use traders who only want to pay trade prices, obviously. A R5GTT doesnt book, so they make stupid offers.
If the forms had been sent and the deal done, then yes, the cars HAVE to be srcapped or the dealer wont get the money from the government.
It just annoys me that these boys didnt, seemingly, make any effort to find a buyer for this 5 in order to save it.
Do what you can to get it mate. This annoys me too. Mind you, i guess renault are offering extra money off with the scrappage scheme right? Merc would only allow the scrappage, no further discount. It might cost you more then 2k to get it??scrappage is rubbish!!!!!!!!theres an old boy thinking of buying a clio at work.if he does hes going2 scrap a 21turbo quadra!!!!

If you have an electric Blue 5 on a G plate... it wasn't made Electric Blue!!!
They only came on an E Plate for phase 2. They were built from C plate Phase 1 through to E plate Phase 2. There were NO original Electric Blue F Plates.
Contact Renault if you don't believe me!.....
It will have perhaps originally been a Raider....
If you can fax me a copy of the Log Book which shows a G plate - and the colour as Originally - Electric Blue.... I'll eay my hat. :-)
mines leccy blue but its a d-reg with phase2 kit, no one seams to make true electric blue paint anymore though

Hi
I have a fully restored Electric Blue Phase2 Renault 5 GT Turbo.
It was done by Europarts at the time to factory standard, by Ian & Justin (When they were still together).
I'd love to know how many standard Electric Blue Phase 2's there are left also...
If anyone can find out from DVLA or the likes... which I'm sure is entirely possible, if you write in asking for disclosure for valuation purposes then please let me know!
Pete
I used to work in a renault bodyshop as a paintsprayer and according to the colour chips this ran from 1982-1988? So that's up to a e maybe a few early f plates
Mike do you have a picture of the car's... also what side graphocs did they have on?
