Renault 5 GT Turbo E399 GPK
Discussion
Remarkably this is shown on the DVLA site as still taxed and MOT'd.
I was the first owner (My first brand new car), so I'm happy to see it's still around.
I don't suppose anyone here owns it and/or has a recent photo?
I found this 2008 shot via Google, when it was for sale on the Wirral!
A bit pimped up from my time!
Still it was 20 years old then and 9 years later is still going, which is great news!

Hope your little one is doing OK.
Air filter isn't original and not sure about the intercooler pipe over the top, but it's 30 years old, so hardly surprising a few replacements have been made along the way.
Sadly, I'm right down in Hampshire. It was registered here, in Aldershot, in January 1988 (As I recall). I had it for 3 years when it was traded against a Calibra 16V at a Vauxhall dealers in Poole, Dorset. It had, from memory, about 30,000 miles on the clock at the time, so I'd be a bit dubious about a total of 85K being accurate, but who knows?
Only issues I had were a leaky sunroof (they weren't factory fit, but were a dealer fit option from new) and a broken clutch cable (may have been two, actually), which was a common issue.
Went to Le Mans in it 2 or 3 times and to Spa at least once (it didn't like Belgian Pave cobbles or the joints on the Belgian motorways much! Suspension was very firm!)
Lovely to see it's still around and clearly had a fair bit of attention given to it in recent years.
Please post more photos when you get some time!
Meanwhile, here are a few from when I owned it
