Description
Renault 5 GT Turbo
R5 GTT show car. I've owned this car since 2021 and loved every minute. The car has been invited to be shown at Players Classic (Goodwood) over the last couple of years, shown in the Auto Finesse arena and always gets lots of attention.
I've been lucky to have the incredible Mark Galvin work on this car for me over the years.
The previous owner had a bodyshop and resprayed it Oynx Black and retrimmed the entire interior with suede and flocking. The car was restored by him in 2021 including all bodywork, making the underneath solid and completely re-trimming the interior.
This is a real one-off R5 GTT that has been well looked after and a favourite at shows.
