Hi Kuba. She looks really good. I'm in the process of rebuilding a Gordini Turbo myself. Ive got lots of spares that came with it. Let me know what your looking for and I might be able to help. Be good to be in touch with other Gordini owners.. I've created a "Renault 5 Gordini Turbo" group on FB.

Looks great, What parts are you looking for?

If its general belts pulleys bearings, I have used Mister Auto

also use

or the big boys (expensive) are

Sommaire R5



Could I be a pain and ask if either of you take a pic of the front radiator mounting bracket for me? Before I fabricate one I know I have the original somewhere for my Alpine Turbo but been a while since I
stripped the car
Thanks

Gary

Cheers for all of you guys! Sorry for late answer.. Will get the Alpine to garage next Tuesday so I'll check all the parts need to change etc. Thanks for the links! Just tried to find the original size tyres 195 55 R13 and can't find them! Nearest available are 195 60 r13 or 205 60 r13 (or 175 50 r13...) What tyres you have?

Hi
just doing the research , 175/ 60/13 h have a massive choice starting out cheap as chips, right up to some sticky yokos , I ran 185 60 13s back in the day and gave the arch a little tug . P6 Pirellis were fitted as standard I think let us know how you get on
