It's been tucked away for ages, not been driven for at least 5yrs and only once or twice in the 3 yrs previous to that.

I only went to the end of the road and back and spent most of that time checking the brakes lol.
I cleaned them up best I could with the pedal lol.
Lucky I was concentrating on them as it seems I have a fluid leak from a rear pipe/join, couldn't see properly.
Will get it in the garage and have a proper look another day.
But other than that I'm quite pleased with the old girl.

rs old skool

Christ! Don't think I've ever seen one of them before, must be quite a rare beast, any idea on numbers?

I know jay, 10 yrs or more now.

The plan was to do a full resto but realistically I don't have the time.
I'm going to just clean it up and sell it on.

They made 13 Renault 5 gt turbo convertables, mine is the only one I know of with 4 electric windows and an electric roof!
There's about 4 on the road and 8 left in total.

I remember reading about these when i got my first R5 GTT in 2006. Afaik it was a belgian company who converted them!!

Get it on the RTOC for sale. R5 GTTs are making daft money these days!!

Very nice and rare. A guy local to me has a silver convertible, it was mint but now sadly left in a dusty workshop.

WOW I thought I knew my cars!!!
There's a red dimma kitted r5 gtt (not cab)that turns up where I live about once a fortnight,looks very clean and mega rare.
Still looks cool to this day.

That looks a wicked little car what spec is the engine?

stu21t

It did have a 200/200 fully built engine in it but I think it knocked the bearings out. I replaced it with a spare std lump I had in the garage but kept all the bolt ons so is now roughly 150bhp.
I did have a close ratio gearbox at one stage with the 200bjp lump and it was crazy fast. It used to push E36 M3s out the way, upto 120ish then hit a brick wall lol.
