The Appeal

The oft-overlooked Renault 5 GT Turbo is nevertheless one of the most exciting hot hatches of the 1980s and early 90s, offering blistering performance in an exceedingly lightweight package. This Phase 2 example stands out as a remarkably preserved car that has clearly been cherished throughout its life.

Presented in black, this 63,000-mile GT Turbo has been meticulously maintained and dry-stored by its fastidious owner. The combination of genuine low mileage, comprehensive history file, preserved original condition, and thoughtful period-correct upgrades makes this a collector-grade example that's increasingly difficult to find in today's market.

The vendor summarises

"A top-tier Renault 5 GT Turbo with immaculate presentation, genuine mileage, preserved underside, and original alloys included. Extremely hard to replace and one of the most honest examples available.

"Only for sale due to an unavoidable house move (downsizing). If you’ve been waiting for a proper Renault 5 GT Turbo, this is it. Immaculate paint, mint interior, preserved underside and genuine mileage — the kind of example that almost never comes up for sale. It’s been dry-stored, pampered, and protected, not thrashed or rebuilt. The original alloys are included, the bodywork gleams, and everything about it feels tight, honest and well-looked-after. This is the GT Turbo you buy to keep, enjoy and watch rise in value. A rare chance to own one of the very best with a number plate to match."
