Did I spot the Horse-shoe pass in the last two photos of the red 5?

Good spot sir

Thanks very much everybody for the kind comments, yes the red one only has 53 thousand miles and is totally standard. Very rare to get one in this condition, it's a bit of a shame not to use it but it only comes Out on special occasions. The grey one used to be my special car until the red one turned up, that one has 75 thousand miles and engine wise, it's defiantly not standard. It will easily beat my golf gti (upto 90mph anyway) Im using the grey one daily now, and so far I've had no problems with it. And the attention it recieves always puts a smile on my face. They are becoming pretty rare now ( can you remember the last time you saw a 5 on the road?) and ever since I saw one driving down the road with the dump valve sneezing away I knew I wanted on.

Small update, but the little red renault was used as our wedding car.

We thought it was way cooler than any rolls or bentley

No unfortunately the exhaust is the only thing non stardard. I've never looked into it but I believe you can't get the original ones anymore. I'm happy with it though, it's not a loud one, just more of a slight burble.

Great looking car. Its really nice to see one as standard as yours, was waiting to see someone pick up on the tailpipe but imo thats an acceptable mod, not a dust bin and looks tasteful.

Yes to be honest, I dont mind it really, theres very little noise and I like to give it a polish now and again

Here is a video of it setting off
