Hi all,
I've seen a G5 advertised locally (ish) and wonder if it is worth the effort. It gets extremely hot here and ordinarily I would go for a car with A/C. So I would restore this car with a view to saving it and selling it on, or if there's a few quid in it, sell it as it is.
I don't want to get stuck with a car I cannot get parts for. Are parts available? I noticed that the plastic vent trim up the rear quarter is broken. Plus there are a few small pieces missing. The grommet around the door button for one.
When looking at the picture of the interior it looks like it has been changed as there are signs of red on a rear side panel. Would a black interior with a grey block pattern have been found in a Gordini?
It was originally black, so I'll need the pinstripe after I paint it. Are the graphics still available or do I get one made up?
Is the 'Gordini' badge available for the tailgate?
Others opinions would be greatly appreciated.
What are they really worth? Not the £10k someone is asking for a Turbo on Ebay I'm sure. If this thing will only ever be worth a grand then I won't bother. I believe it's more rare than a Turbo. Does that make it more valuable? I can't seem to find much about these cars. It's always the Turbo.
If someone wants it, I would help with shipping it to the UK.
All the best,
Derek
