Another Renault 5 GT Turbo joins the fleet!

[Ant1]

Just put a deposit on this mint red phase 1. Complete bare shell rebuild so good as new, will go nice with my white phase 2

my phase 2

 

[MartinR]

That is bloody stunning!!

And the ph2!

 

[Scrooge]

I can't decide which I prefer tbh.

 

[Ian_182]

I still like the ph 2 but i'd be putting silver wheels back on it.

 

[Mr R.]

You lucky fcuk.

PH1 are epic, look so raw.

 

[Jack-C]

Looks superb!

I really love the rear arch vent on the phase 1 as a nod to the original Renault 5 turbo.

Two great cars there.

 

[jon_r]

Ph1 looks fantastic.

 

[Mr R.]

Need lots of pictures of the ph1 when you get it matey.

 

[Djw Dave]

Lucky bugger!

 

[George182]

Ph1 looks incredible!

 

[Ant1]

If you guys know any cheap car transport company's to get the car from Central Scotland, to salisbury that would be great. Don't really have the time to fly up and drive down.

 

[benhwolves]

That looks proper old skool - love it

 

[Clart]

Mint.

I've used Shipley a number of times. Use common sense and you'll get someone good.

 

[Ant1]

Cheers for that. Question is, do I let someone drive it, or pay for a transporter. £100 difference.

 

[Djw John]

Djw Dave and I are in central Scotland..... We could run it about a little to make sure it would make the journey safely first. You know, just to help out.

You could drive it down whilst your at it and get a plane back!!

 

[Djw John]

Drive it down and bring the ph2 back as payment?

 

[Mr R.]

Id be transporting it if it was mine.

It's not like it's a old ford focus.

 

[Stefan.]

Wow Ph1 wins hands down!

 

[Ant1]

There is a negative side to all this, the AMG would have to go and tbh, I don't care. got a real
bug for the R5 now, more so than I ever did for the Evos.

 

[Mr R.]

That's a shame, the amg is great.

Tough choice.

 

[Ant1]

1. That's a shame, the amg is great.

Tough choice.

Aye but who sells it will sell ;-)

 

[Ant1]

Picking it up tomorrow followed by a 6hrs plus drive back! Can't wait!!

 

[Alex_X93]

Know who built this small world.

 

[mossyv6]

I was wondering who bought this gem? Such an awesome build and car!!!!

I am very jealous - and this is from an owner of 2 GTT's currently.

 

[cat171]

You're mental Ant!!

I love the phase 2, but that phase 1 is so damn rare!

 

[Mr Burns]

Both are as cool as a fool in a swimming pool.

 

[GiT]

Hero purchase. Mam points a plenty for that.

 

[rctempire]

Cheers for that. Question is, do I let someone drive it, or pay for a transporter. £100 difference.

Id gladly drive this down for you.

 

[Iain C]

Thats fantastic. Think i prefer the phase 2 tho. Having 2 is mad tho.

Twice the fun / problems

 

[Ant1]

Didn't buy it, waiting to get on the very expensive plane home. s**t happens.

 

[Addicted]

What happened?

 

[mossyv6]

What happened pal? Not as good as it looks?

 

[Ant1]

What happened?

Not what I wanted or expected, my current R5 is muchhhhhhh cleaner. Shame as I had really
high hopes and I really wanted it. If anyone wants to view this car and wants my feedback, pm.

Oh man!!
Wtf is it with some people? I take they didn't advertise it needed work etc?

 

[Addicted]

Eek that sucks.

 

[Mr R.]

What an ass the seller is, he let you go all that way knowing it would cost you a few quid but didn't feel the need to tell you of the car's problem's?

I'd of gone mad.
