But is it overpriced ?

[Steamer]

Steep but I'm guessing they can ask pretty much anything now if its a Gordini (not so sure this one is though is it?... similar fame to SWB quattro)

I know there is guy that lives at a French ski resort thats got one too, must be a riot on those roads!!

That Sir is a genuine Turbo2, mid engined racer from the 80's built for homologation purposes.

They are rarer than a Hens electric toothbrush, especially in that condition.



Seriously car that is

Thats the one I meant! the one with the engine in the back!

That is indeed a cool car although I used to work a couple miles from that dealer, I shall say no more.

The Turbo 1 (of which there were 400) was built to comply with Group 4 homologation.
The Turbo 2 used off the shelf Renault 5 parts to replace some of the light alloy components in the original 5 Turbo version.

But still very cool.

Incidentally, Car&Classic had a Turbo 2 in the classifieds in the summer for £16k, FSH 50k miles.

No naming and shaming allowed on here. It may be spot on of course, just tread with even more caution than normal.

Not me but a close friend, and it took a while to sort. If you are looking to buy it and want to know then PM me or even if you would like me to pop along to take a look at it if you serious.

[rumpelstiltskin]

That's been up for sale for ages!Nice car though but price a bit steep.

It is a bit rich I agree but the offer is there if your friend wants a first opinion before travelling to Norfolk.

I know its a totally different kettle of fish but if your mate is after a rare modern classic for big money, I'd be tempted to push for a good price on something a bit more Merc Evo shaped:

Just to clarify, there is no such thing as a "nice" Renault, they are French..

[moffspeed]

I've always had a soft spot for them but things have moved on...

Bear in mind that,despite its looks,if you buy it your local boyracer in his standard Clio 172 will beat you to 100mph by a couple of seconds,but perhaps that's not the point..

That 5 has been up for sale for the past 3 years!
