Nice: 1981 R5 Turbo 1
Update 11/8: The seller has removed the ad. We hope he changed his mind about selling his R5.
Another homologation series has come up for sale, this time a Renault 5 Turbo. Only 1500 cars were ever produced of the first series and this is car #1059. It has been laid up for a while and will need a bit of work. It looks nice and a bit understated in black.
The interior looks very neat and apart from the dials on top of the middle console looks completely stock. The seller has recently put in a new starter engine, alternator, fuel pump and battery. We’re not quite sure how much work will be needed but it could just be a good tune-up.
The mid-bodied engine is a 1400cc engine that delivers 160bhp. When Jean Ragnotti took the real works car out for its first Monte Carlo WRC rally, he went straight for the first place. Until it came up short against 4WD cars that were introduced in the same period and were much more powerful on dirt. The car is for sale here out of Ghent in Belgium.
Hi is the renault 5 turbo still for sale
Cheers
