Description
Just 63, 000 km from new — a remarkably original and well-preserved example of the Renault 5 Supercinq Saga.
Registered in 1990 and finished in Factory Red, this 3-door Supercinq Saga represents one of the most characterful and honest French superminis of its era.
Practical, light, simple and unmistakably French, the Supercinq was designed to be enjoyed every day rather than admired from a distance. Today, finding one in this level of originality, condition and documentation has become increasingly difficult.
This particular example has had only two registered keepers from new, with the first keeper retaining ownership until 2023. It shows just 63, 000 km, supported by full Portuguese MOT history confirming the indicated mileage.

Condition & Originality:
This Supercinq Saga presents as a very honest, factory-standard example throughout.
The original Factory Red paintwork remains in very good overall condition, with the exterior decals well preserved. It retains its correct steel wheels with original hubcaps, while the interior remains tidy, authentic and well cared for, preserving much of its original retro character.
Some small imperfections are noted on the door cards, consistent with age and originality.

This Renault 5 Supercinq Saga is a rare survivor that prioritises originality, documentation and careful preservation over unnecessary restoration.
With low mileage, limited ownership, original paperwork and an excellent history file, it will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts seeking an authentic, usable and increasingly hard-to-find French supermini.
This is not just a Renault 5.
It is a charming piece of everyday automotive history — preserved with care, presented with honesty, and ready for its next custodian.
