  • In this weeks video i made an absolutely incredible discovery, a legendary group B rally car for the road!  The Renault 5 Turbo or R5 Turbo is a sport hatchback and was launched by the French manufacturer Renault at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1980. The car was primarily designed for rallying, but was also sold in a mid engine street version called the Turbo 2… This very car! The car has been park up for many years but is now finally going to be moved… and we’re being invited back to film the extraction!! It’s definitely not going yo be easy, but will be a LOT of fun!! Hope you enjoy this weeks video guys 😊

    A quick look at Turbo 2's for sale £90k plus so you could pay £30k as it is spend £50k restoring it and still make a tidy profit of £10k plus ... That bumper is off a Mk1 Mini prob the estate

    Had a Citroen ax 1 litre, loved it, the boot lids were plastic, and would move around a bit as the temperature changed, on really hot days I could get the boot to open if I hit certain roundabout near me hard enough! I think they were galvanised, hence no rust on that one.

    15.45 that's a Kensitas card you got from cigarettes packs back in around the 60's 70's once you saved up 1,000's of them, you would take them to a shop a bit like argo's. i remember my mum getting camping stuff for when we went camping

    Hi Colin. The red and white CB 900 F2C Bol'Dor was a treat. I picked one up along time ago from a chap who was sadly unable to finish the project due to ill health. I managed to get it on the road and years later when listed on ebay it turns out it had been linked to a family on the isle of man. The guy came next day to pick it up.
    Just go to show that old vehicles regardless of age and condition hold a special place in everyone's life at some point.
    Pleasure to watch your uploads as allways!!

    Hi Guys well what a find those Renaults are more rare then rocking horse poo! That has to be saved and brought back to its full glory. A few of the other cars need saving as well but what a job to get them out of that jungle.Great commentary Colin as usual,hope you have a great trip to Scotland and look forward to what you film there for us.Take care.😀

    Astonishing find. Amazed this collector had such a car. Even an RS 2000 not really that special. Just a mass produced Ford. You saw loads of them in the day. Only collectable now because everyone got rid of them. Other miscellaneous rubbish and then the Turbo 2. Different ball game. Well worth saving. I read the other day the most expensive Ford the RS 200 rally car. A guy up the road from me had one. Did rallycross in it. These sort of cars are legends. Great find.

    Some car manufacturers used a zinc coating on the metal panels to prevent rust and corrosion.

  • @stevenmoran4060
    @stevenmoran4060 2 місяці тому +2

    The other Renault 5 is a standard 5TX with standard steering wheel just the centre missing, or it’s an end of range Renault 5 Flair. They were only available in Red, Blue or White. A roof spoiler at the rear would give that away.
    The bumper is a mark 1 mini bumper and those cards were cigarette coupons!
    The 5 Turbo 2 isn’t a group B car at all. It’s just the homologation car made for road use.
    The rally car would have a roll cage, different seats and no carpet at all and a different front bumper with spotlights built into it. But, spares are available in France for the road car so it could be rebuilt.

    The 5TX is quite a rare model in itself, wheels and steering wheel are std. IIRC, the model numbers were L, TL, GTL, TS, TX, Gordini, Gordini Turbo. TX being the extra equipment. Plush edition with gordini 1.4 engine

    Was it a genuine one or a home made special using a R5 shell? I think the cheapest these got to in the U.K. was around £12k-£15k around 2001/2002. A lot were used in competition as rally cars / hill climb etc maybe it got damaged and parked up then forgotten about - a great barn find to see !

      Yes was way before group B 1981 or close (otherwise would have been 4wd) but it did get rallied under group B regs/homologated. An amazing little car when new and even more so now:
