This is an eye-catching example of the beloved Renault 5 Turbo 2, which started life as a Renault UK dealer demo car, before being converted to rally specification by John Price Rallying. Power comes from a replacement 1.4-litre turbocharged Cléon-Fonte inline-four, built by John Price himself and upgraded to produce 230bhp, coupled to a Quaife Tour de Corse five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It has also been converted from LHD to RHD configuration. The car was bought via the Collecting Cars platform in May 2023 from its eighth owner. It was subsequently imported to Australia and is now offered for sale in Victoria. Australian government import approval is secured and all duties have been paid. This car is finished in the black, yellow, and white livery worn by the Turbo 2 driven to victory by Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Marc Andrié in the 1981 Monte Carlo and 1982 Tour de Corse rallies, with sponsorship decals from Elf Aquitaine, Michelin, Cibie, Europcar, Bilstein, Ferod, Valeo, Marchal, Tissot, Magneti Marelli, and FACOM. It also has a Renaultsport / Tag Heuer windscreen strip. It has a set of Cibie spot lamps, and rides on 15-inch Minilite wheels with yellow Renault 5 Turbo centre caps, fitted with Toyo Proxes R888R rear tyres and Yokohama S.drive fronts. Inside its stripped-out cabin, it has a three-spoke Momo steering wheel, a full roll cage, Corbeau bucket seats with yellow TRS harnesses, a fire extinguisher, a Brantz rally metre, a simplified dashboard with a yellow Cibie sticker, yellow door pulls, and a window breaking device for use in an emergency. It has a reinforced chassis, Bilstein coilovers, reinforced wishbones, an upgraded steering rack, and a Sachs clutch. Stopping power comes from Wilwood brakes with bias adjustment and a hydraulic handbrake. Accompanying the car will be the original spare wheel, and a collection of maintenance invoices and other associated documents. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the paintwork has some stone chips and scuffs, and light rust on one side at the bottom of the windscreen. The paint alongside both roof spoiler rubbers is beginning to crack. The most recent inspection test was the final UK MOT test before it left the country, conducted on 11 May 2023 at 74,281 miles, resulting in a second-time pass with no advisories. The replacement 1.4-litre turbocharged Cléon-Fonte four-cylinder in this Renault 5 Turbo has reportedly covered around 90 miles since being rebuilt with new camshaft, liners, a replacement turbo, an upgraded twin-fan radiator, larger upgraded intercooler, and a custom exhaust. A collection of maintenance invoices accompanies the car. This is a head-turning example of the beloved Renault 5 Turbo 2, which started life as a Renault UK dealer demo car, before being converted to rally specification by John Price Rallying. It sports a black, yellow, and white livery inspired by the Turbo 2 driven to victory by Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Marc Andrié in the 1981 Monte Carlo and 1982 Tour de Corse rallies, and is powered by a freshly rebuilt 230bhp version of the turbocharged Cléon-Fonte inline-four. Now eligible for a raft of demonstration rally events; it could also be enjoyed out on the open road, or as part of a wider motorsport collection.
