Newbie says Hi and asks for help

[GazzaR5]

Hi All,
I am new to the site and it has been nearly 30 years since I owned a Renault. I am desperately trying to get hold of my dream car.........a Renault 5 Gordini Atmo! Had one back in the day and stupidly scrapped it! Being a middle aged old fa@t I would dearly love to get one again so if you can help then please let me know. Would be happy to consider a 2 door R5 to turn into a replica if the real thing is too rare.
Either way looking forward to getting to know you all.
Cheers Garry

Welcome mate, I can't help on the Gordon front but it may be worth posting in the main welcome section so people notice your post.

@GazzaR5 Moved to general section for better exposure

@Tony Smith @r5gordini got anything for sale?

 

[r5gordini]

No Gordini Atmos about at the moment, to my knowledge. They are super rare. Less than 10 about I think!

Gordini turbo is also rare but there is about double the number.

A replica of either is a bit difficult since they have a detachable crossmember at the front, unlike all other models except the automatic. Except they are even rarer!

Gordini Atmo parts are also extremely hard to come by. I have most parts, probably everything, for the Turbo.

All MK1 Fives are rare these days anyway. It's just a case of being in the know and watching until one comes up.

I searched for an Atmo nearly 18 years ago and gave up so bought a Turbo instead. Not really looked back! Only driven one Atmo since and in my opinion the Turbo is much more exciting.

I know a guy in Blackburn who bought this tl a few of months ago, he has a few dini parts too, engine, box, dash etc. I think he had big plans but little capability and funds to do so

I have a possible lead for a real one... Watch this space
