I believe they're the best... lol.

Did have one at the beginning of the year but they're a nightmare to keep on the road, especially as a first car. I shall definitely try and get hold of a totally standard Raider one day

The best? sure that's an objective opinion....Pug fanboys/owners etc wont agree.

But for sure it is illegal levels of fun,maybe the most fun you can have in a hot hatch/car IMHO.

I think ime on my 20 th ? now !

Bought my First one I'n 91 , was a superb 85 Le Car Turbo in White , reluctantly sold to fund a Stingray , how i wish i had kept it .
Bought my first GT Turbo I'n 93 via Loot ( remember that ? ) from a lad I'n Walthamstow . It was an 86 I'n Pearl White C400 GME , where are you now ? She had light front end damage and broken seats ( early ones were very weak ) . I repaired her, fitted a Phase 2 F Bumper and Had Lots of great drives, by far the best drive so far has to be July 93, when we set off for San Tropez , via the Somme and The Route De Napoleon , complete with 2 bikes lashed to a Halfrauds Cycle carrier .
As long as I live, I will Never Ever forget that Route De Napeon... Had the drive of my life .

I Have had 4 this year alone. Now got 2 , a Standard looking 90 I'n Glasier White with 2 Grands worth of K Tec Engine , now sign written to advertise my co and an 88 , Orig Black , now Blue with a Hot BB Tuning Engine, big Brakes, Roll Cage etc etc . This one Is For Sale .
Personally I would avoid the Over Rated Raider, No Lovely Side Decalls, a Blue that is Impossible to match, Dodgy Raider stickers on the screens, a Better Phillips Radio Cassette And that's it !!

Clean looking car, but just doesnt do it for me . No Lovely GT Turbo Side Decalls , Colour coded alloys , Still say they are Over Priced / Over rated . I well remember stopping at A Renault dealers I'n Enfield where they had 2 new ones, must have been early 1990 . Where has the time gone !

But give me Pearl White , Silver or Black Any day . Silver is Probably the Rarest Colour now, it wasn't common when they were new , they look really good I'n Silver . A complete waster I had the misfortune to know bought 2 new Flash Red ones I'n early 89, they were impossible to start in that Summers heat . One was smashed up and written off .

I love both these things

I have allways wanted a Pearl White Turbo 2, any one had/ have one ? , but prices are now way too high and out of my reach now. I think I would possibly be disappointed with one now , after spending so much cash, ,particularly straight line performance .
As for as low as 6k ( but ideally 12 K ) I can be behind the wheel of something that even now 20 odd years after it's launch and 12 odd years out of production , to 100 mph is Still a Very Quick car, has stunning looks , Sounds Amazing , has a good spares and technical back up, is Very exclusive ( only 1,900 odd made and probably Only 1,200 or less left ) .

Can you guess what car I am referring to ?

Is it the one you currently own? Keep us posted,love these old Turbo renaults

I had one back in the day when they were THE thing to have - 1990, still is in my personal top three cars I have owned. I caned it everywhere changed the oil every 2000 miles and it never let me down. Went on a driving holiday to the Isle Of Man and drove it for hours at a time flat out against a BMW 635 CSI and a new Astra GTE. It outclassed them both. It's also one of those cars that feel much quicker than they are, bit like a Fiat X1/9. Car I owned before that was a Gordini Turbo, wish I had kept that !

Looks great I'n that colour and with the Early Clio 16valve Alloys I'n black. What's the body colour ? First look like Tungsten !

I've always wanted one and finally bought one as a weekend toy last month, it's so much fun!
I've been surprised with the amount of strangers that have come over and complemented the car, I didn't think other people liked them as much as me.
