Default Whats an R5 Gordini (mid engined one) worth?

NOT a for sale post, in fact quite the opposite my mate has found one for sale and we're tempted by it.


Its pretty sound, few minor issues but nothing too major.

Is this the collectors item im assuming it is or are people so sick of buying 6-packs of head gaskets they wouldnt want it

been years since i seen one, havnt really got a clue as to what its worth, but i would have thought it would be worth a bit due to how rare they are these days, lmao @ 6 pack of head gaskets

Ive always loved these cars,kept an eye whenever theycome up for sale. They normally fetch around the Ł10k mark to give you an idea, but they are normally pretty mint.

there were two turbo2's for sale local to me about 6 years ago.
they were 10k for a 'cat d' one and 12k for the other one. Must be worth 15k easy for a good one now.

A gordini is front engined.

Londitudley mounted but FWD.

Suck-thru carb on em

Renault 5 Turbo and Turbo2s are the mid engined ones with mechanical fuel inj.

Both use the better crossflow heads rather than the GT Turbo style heads.

Turbo2's rock,and the last 'good' one i saw for sale was Ł15k

something of a collectors item though,rather than buy it and thrash it round a track which would be the best thing for it

Hmm, thats interesting, sounds like i will need to get a look at it then as obviously cant be as described, its one of these "my mate's mate has it" type affiars so will probably end up being some ex grasstrack car or something, lol

Cheers for the advice peeps, will see if i can get a viewing as its only local anyway.

If its a Gordini Turbo (ie the FWD oldest shape Reno5's) and cheap (they not worth much anyhow) let me know, even if its a bit of a nail, as ive always wanted one.

A friend of mine bought a project for 3k, 10k for a good car, 15k for a mint, and no one pays 20k

All of them are way overpriced for what they are..

Perceived value shouldnt be any more than 7k imo
