the ad is crap though. Almost no info and what info there is is inaccurate.

is that even vaguely reasonable asking price? Actually that's the starting bid!

No idea

I doubt there will be any bids. With cars like this no one bids. You have to go see it and strike up a deal onsite surely.

I think its cute. Is it 22 grand cute - who knows.

My neighbour (when I lived in Surrey) bought a 70k mile 1 owner 5 Turbo… was the best he could find at the time and it was £15k 4 years ago.

Sometimes I think folk just get pissed off and list their car using any old pics they've got lying around.

Either that or they put them put to placate the mrs.

Sold previously on 04/07/20 via Collecting Cars for 21k + fees - https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1990-renault-5...

Now for sale on PH Classifieds with an extra 00071 miles on the clock [ - haircut surely??? ] for 25k

I like the old school engraving of the number plate on the glass - remember when that was a thing?

I'll see your overpriced white Escort and raise (?) you a 21 turbo! for what seems like reasonable money.

Have done a decent number of miles in the new XKR now, I cannot imagine what the 5 litre is like.

A few things of note-

1. Compliments. Have never had a car that garnered so many positive comments, even if the other half does describe it as 'a dhead's car'. biggrin

2. After having been out of a properly quick car (~5 seconds to 60 for argument's sake) for about 5 years it is incredible how it pulls to look down and only see 4k on the tachometer. Granted it does have a reduction pulley fitted so not sure what that's changed in real terms.

3. In the same vein as above, how rarely it feels like you can comfortably floor it, especially at the minute.

I must admit, I was expecting at least a mild to moderate whimper.
