Offered here is a fine example of Renault's pocket rocket Turbo 2 that's been part of the private collection of the principal of a well-respected race/ rally car preparer. It's a left-hand drive car that has spent much of its life in the States and in the history file, there is an appraisal form dated April 2002 showing 48, 792 km. The car was purchased from Quail Lodge in 2010 by a Greek businessman who shipped it to the UK in order that Renault 5 Turbo guru, John Price, could fettle the car prior to it being sent to his home in Greece. Whilst in John's care, the car was fully serviced and fitted with a new fuel pump, plug leads, distributor cap, rotor arm, rear shocks, radiator fans, and turbo and intercooler hoses. The odometer indicated 57, 610km at this point and it was noted that the car was a factory 185bhp version and upgrades from new included a stainless steel Heim joint shift linkage, remote oil filter with stainless steel lines and AN fittings, stainless steel brake lines and a second cooling fan.
Overall the little Renault appears in excellent condition and is finished in Pearl White with Biscuit cloth, bronze carpets and polished Gotti wheels (originals with the car). The Turbo 2 returned to the UK in 2014 and was purchased by our vendor. At the time of cataloguing the odometer was showing 60, 867km and we understand it has recently been serviced and new front dampers fitted. It will be supplied with a current MOT and the Renault handbooks.

The Renault 5 Turbo 2 remains an evergreen favourite with the enthusiast and collector and was a car that helped define the eighties. Its Motorsport heritage firmly puts it in the legendary territory and, as an investment, has continued to move in the right direction.

Its 1.7L is nice and pokey, and in combination with ...
