1986 Renault 5 GT Turbo Coupe Race Car For Sale

RENAULT 5GT TURBO COUPE (CUP) Race Car
Owned by me for the last 30 years. Original Renault Coupe made for the UK Race series.

Purchased from Racer Mark Howard after the last race in the Championship at Donington Park.
I then raced the car in the subsequent Harlow Race series, followed by the Super Coupe Series.

Several wins/ pole positions and fastest laps until the car was retired in 2000.

Raced by Bob Smith in the Renault 30th Anniversary Race at Thruxton in 2004 finishing 3rd overall after running 2nd for a long time.

Converted to Sprint and Hillclimb specification in 2007/ 8.
Many Class wins, track records and even FTD @Prescot Hillclimb La Vie en Bleu in 2009.
After an accident at 3 Sisters the car and bodyshell underwent a full restoration including being seam welded, fitted with an OMP weld in FIA cage, and then stripped and Electro coated at SPL in Dudley. A professional re paint followed and upgrade on all parts.
I would say this is the best competition R5 shell in the UK.

A new all steel Prima Racing fuel injection engine was built and fitted.

Year 2012 was the most successful season, but little use after that, except for another Class win at Prescott La Vie en Bleu.

Over the last 2 years the car has been converted to its current race specification. Tested this year and then raced at Donington in the Future Classics series finishing 13th out of 30 cars and P3 in class.
