Try looking in 1990, I believe there were some half decent ones around then!

Seriously though, you'll be lucky, they'll have all been thrashed to death and beyond by now.

best i could find http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1987-RENAULT-5-GT-TURBO-BLUE_W0QQitemZ4611941954QQcategoryZ9861QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Good luck , I've not seen a decent R5 for years.

Most of the ones on ebay are tarted up heaps.

Mined ewe , while I was looking I did spot this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-RENAULT-ALPINE-GTA-V6-GREY_W0QQitemZ4612120575QQcategoryZ9861QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

which was very tempting

What ! 0 - 60 in 5 seconds ! Never.

Have you looked on http://www.rtoc.org/

They were damn rapid!!

I've got a mate whos thinking of selling his.

Don't too much about what mods he done etc, I'll try to get some details.

If I don't reply in a day or two, feel free to PM me to remind me!!!

A friend of mine at work has her GTT up for sale...Not standard body wise...engine is standard.

Brand new Flip purple paint, Dimma bodykit, Momo wheels, rear spoiler, OMP racing seats (new), sports exhaust, taxed with 12 months ticket, F reg..think she wants about £1600..

I think it'll be nigh on impossible to find one that hasn't been thrashed and messed around with.

They were bloody quick for their time (in a straight line) but handling wasn't too hot and they suffered from cooling and electrical probs.

My word, an Alpine - looks great, especially in grey - used to have a poster of a midnight blue one on my bedroom wall

And I think Jonny might have been disbelieving the GT5's 0-60 time, not the Alpine's...

I remember seeing Clarkson testing 1 of these, bright yellow, he ended the test saying " what the world needs is a few more yellow cars" he really liked it:thumbup:

See if you can find the Turbo II - they were significantly quicker and stood up to abuse much better

Like ant says though, it's an old car :(

I had an R5 turbo VAN! It was totally bonkers.

Sold it after 2 weeks when someone offered me £50 more than I paid for it.

There's a small amount of R5 turbo's around the cruising scene down here. And some of them have been tweaked and are very very quick indeed. But as mentioned most have rotted away / engine's died by now.

LOL - understatement... id like to see a single R5 T that still has the original engine/turbo

Check this out...not cheap by any stretch!!

So who's going to take on the onerous task of keeping their vRS in pristine condition for posterity?

You could call EP Motorsport (the ones who built the twin engined orange 5 turbo) near me in staaffordshire as he may know if there are any for sale. 01782 330048 and ask for Ian

I think he had a 300+ bhp 5 running a roller bearing skyline turbo forsale not long ago.

cheers for you input fellas, ive got one now. had to drive all the way to birmingham from darlington to get it though.

Good stuff - get some pics up! What did you pay in the end?

Steve

10 years ago i had a standard renault 5 GTL 1.4(same engine as turbo minus the turbo) brilliant wee car even though it had sand coloured interior

You could always try the westside crew Staines massive

My mate sold his white H plate one a few weeks ago. Was totally bog standard and in pretty damn near mint condition. I think he got just over
