The Appeal
Produced between the years of 1962 and 1965, the Super 5 was a Row-Crop tractor manufactured with excellent technical specification. Undeniably one of the great tractors in the Renault line-up, it has earned a fantastic reputation for its reliability and dependability.
The lovely example we have presented here has reportedly been sympathetically restored to a retain much of the vehicles originality and charm, and the current keeper believes that the vehicle used to belong to a tractor museum located in London.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
