    Red 5gtt 1988

    The time has come

    Would obviously prefer it went to a go home, if anyones interested give me a bell


    Renault 5 GT Turbo Ph2

    1988 - E Reg
    7 owners (1 owner previous being CGB Motorsport(purchased by me from them)
    Tax: May 2015
    MOT: Oct 2015 (No advisories!!)
    Milege: 3800

    Owned for 6years

    Full respray in 2008
    Full front end restoration in 2010 - including new o/s front wing, all rust cut out.

    Has had 1 sill completely replaced and a patch on the other, there is NO rust at all on boot lid or windscreen, and rear bumper brackets are solid.

    Full engine rebuild, including head work (new valves,valve springs (uprated),collets etc.
    Every gasket replaced during rebuild.

    AEM AFR gauge fitted, currently running a standard T2 @ 1bar boost, carb is standard apart from a larger Main jet (125) – which makes for better feel cruising (2-3k rpm) and keeps fueling safe at WOT.

    New clutch and soft pedal conversion, new radiator,starter motor, fully polybushed subframe.
    Koni Adjustable suspension throughout and lowered 35mm.
    Refurbished rear calipers fitted & new rear compensator fitted 2014.
    New indicators,front head lamps, fog lights, rear number plate lights.
    All underside brake lines replaced (previous advisory on last MOT)

    All bills & invoices for parts +100's of photos of the work being carried out.


    Overall considering its age, the car is in GREAT condition - it has been used as intended, so is not concours but has certainly not been abused!!

    Price is reflective of the following negatives:
    *Cigarette burn on the dash board
    *small dent on the bonnet
    *passenger seat material is torn
    *standard alloys arent mint, so personally say would benefit from a refurb?


    [B]PRICE: £4500ovno





    If you need any more information then please get in touch

    Wow, that looks really nice. Mine was originally the same colour before I repainted it blue back in 1996. It was amazing how badly my original paint had faded in just 8 years.

    Webber, there are loads of pics of every bit of the car in Wallace's rebuild thread. Noted in post #2.

    https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=13914

    Also, you can see from Wallace's profile that he is in Enfield. It's most likely the car is there.

    I'm sure the new owner will treat the car right. Is the new owner already a member here or on their way?

    Me to James would be a real shame if just disappeared into the world - i have recommended the club, so hopefully theyll join.

    Ive gone for a clio 197.

    A loooovely car to drive, obviously no 5!!! But the way things have been i just needed a more usuable vehicle, and when alls said and done its never the reliabilty of my old 5 that was in question just usability- carb freeze, hot start, shhhite heater etc lol

    I have no doubt i'll get another 5 one day, but just other priorities at the mo
