5 GT Turbo Big Steve's Raider Reappears! H494 AEA / H988 KAV

[Big Steve - Raider]

In an amazing turn of events... my first Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider has re-appeared on eBay this week:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-5-RAIDER/132997487109?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649










I Bought this car with it's original numberplate H494 AEA in November 1994 (Crazy that I also have the original advert out of the AutoTrader Magazine!!) for £4,495 (It's the one ringed in Green)



And I have a few pictures of the car when I owned it back in 1994 - 1996:



Crazy to think that it's now back up for sale at a similar price to how much I bought it for back in 1994.

So much of me would like to buy it back.... but i'm not going to

I may just buy it, restore it and drive past your house every now and then )

Why did you sell it?

 

[Adey]

i bet its a tough choice not to buy it for you act

 

[Big Steve - Raider]

Why did you sell it?

I was looking for a new job so needed a car to commute to wherever it was going to be.. Figured I needed something a little bigger and more grown up so sold the Raider and bought a Cavalier Turbo 4x4:
