Renault 5 Turbo compilation: Time For Tea?

PHer's very own Turbo 2 inspires a rally video tribute - enjoy!

---

If you've not frequented Readers' Cars recently then you really must, for there's a Renault everyone needs to see. It's a brown 5 Turbo 2 owned by PHer Dazza M and it is, quite simply, magnificent. The thread sits at seven pages detailing the history, the restoration and of course features tons of compliments. Pleasingly, it will be on show at the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power in our 80s exhibition.

Anyway, what better excuse to feature a 5 Turbo video? Here are 11 minutes of flames, yellow headlights, handbrake turns and excitable French people. Even on rally stages the Turbo looks tiny, narrow and innocent from the front then all arches and attitude at the back. Obviously it looks heroically fast too.

So put the kettle on and celebrate one of Renault's greatest hits on video. And congratulations once more to Dazza and his brown beauty!

Watch the video here.

I owned a 5GT turbo ,think it was a red F reg,i paid about £1,100 for it around 2001.
Must have been chipped the needle on the turbo cluster went right iover to the right ,
I think standard ones went three quarters over, it did shift !!
the fan next to the turbo kept sticking and the engine kept getting hot.
I changed the fan but same thing kept happening so I sold it.
