sex!

 

[theduck]

i have seen a few up for around that kind of money before and that one does look like a particularly good one

 

[M8XY G]

wow thats amazing

not sure if it will go for that but its very rare with basically no miles on it?

 

[172blue]

Does look like a mint example, 20k tho....

 

[izard-industries]

does look pretty mint!

But 20 grand?

 

[RichRSi]

Lovely car, I think for a mint one that is a fair price.

The thing is there are the 5 Maxi, Turbo 1, and Turbo 2. The turbo 2 is something like 140-160 bhp (someone correct me if I'm wrong) the Turbo 1, which the rally versions were based on, went from 180bhp to about 300 odd in Maxi form. I think that the Turbo 1 is more desirable, there was a 220bhp version for sale for less than £20k a week ago but it had minilite style wheels.

I like it needs a wee bit of TLC

That's right! The gordini turbo's and later r5gtt's were a different car entirly, bit like the clio v6 next to a 1*2.

Aye and the R5GT Turbo is the 80's hot hatch with the engine in the front... NOT to be confused with a Renault 5 Turbo.

 

[R20 CWH]

looks mint

 

[® Andy]

Yep ... you need to drop the GT from the thread title. It's a R5 Turbo II, and I'd love one in the garage next to my Vee if I had the spare cash!

Sex ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/ulfbot/71839583/in/set-1086456/

I'd then finish it off (tho' my garage isn't quite big enough for 3 ) ... with a Metro 6R4 .

 

[cat171]

looks mint

yep it does

Lol @ all of the '20k for that' folks on here, I forgot nothing is worth anything at all on here.

I could just imagine it now if someone posted up a ford rs200 - it would be '50k for that !!!!'

Some just don't get it:dapprove:

 

[john1.2pearl]

gorgeous !! if i only had a spare 20k :dapprove:

 

[Fred@BTM]

my mate has a turbo 2 he paid £14k for it and its not bad, good condition, not MINT though

£20k for a minter is right IMO

 

[Andy.]

probably the lowest mileage original car in existence today.

Never out in wet

Location: Scotland

I guess that explains the low mileage then.

 

[Ian_182]

While there are colectors out there then there are always going to be people who will pay over the odds for the right model

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Found this... think its clarkies

 

[Beaniemoo]

Stuff like this is pure treasure and price wise surely it's a sellers market. You could hardly take a look round it and say "sorry fella bit pricey, i've got a few other totally original ones to view that've only done 500miles a year " You want it you'll have to pay what they're asking i reckon.
