The time has now come for me to part with my Renault 5 GT Turbo Race Car that I have owned and used for TurboRenault track/club events. I've now decided to sell this car as I'm currently in the progress of my 11 Turbo project, and want to commit to finishing that.


This is a genuine 1990 Elf Turbo UK Cup race car owned & ran by Steve Jones (It's his name on the log-book before mine) and during my ownership I've managed track down a lot more information on it's history, including a DVD of the highlights of the 1990 race series, where you can see THIS ACTUAL CAR in action in it's period livery... You can see highlights on YouTube:

Over the years I have owned it, I have thrown many £££ at it to bring it to the condition it is now and there are many extremely rare Renault 5 GT Turbo tuning parts that are included in this Auction. (I know I could probably get more for this car if I sold it off in smaller parts, but I think it's better to keep everything together):

  • Renault 5 GT Turbo COUPE 1990 Race Car
  • 1397cc C1J Engine running approx 140/150 bhp
  • Recent completely rebuilt R11 Turbo Gearbox complete with QUAIFE LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL!!

  • Sparco Race Seat (Seen better days, but it was the one I got with the car, I was using my own bucket seats)
  • 4 Point Racing Harness (Again seen better days, but does the job)
  • Switch-able Electric Power Steering - My wife was driving the car and preferred driving with the PAS system turned on (Original OE non PAS Steering Rack included in the sale
  • Safety Devices Bolt In Roll-cage
To see how this car performs on track, please look at this video I took from the last track-day session at the 2016 TURBORENAULT Festival at Blyton Park 1 WEEK ago:


I bought this car with a view to restoring it back to it's correct period livery and make it MINT but was always torn between making it a show-piece and losing the various battle scars which add to it's authenticity so never made that decision to proceed. As part of the sales package, I will be including a full set of replica stickers, so you can sticker it back up if you want?

I'll also be including ALL of the original Renault 5 GT Turbo elf Turbo UK Cup documentation I have gathered with the car over the years which includes:

  • Pictures of all the drivers who raced in the 1990 series (Picture of Steve Jones shown in the listing)
  • Timing results from the 1990 Race Series (You will see yourself this car was VERY competitive, finishing regularly in the top 5!)
  • CUP MANUAL
  • Written reports of the various races the car performed in throughout the year
  • Various stickers & pictures
The final thing.. is this car comes complete with a V5/LogBook and registration (G818 ALK) so if you care to get this car MOT'd, you will be able to enjoy terrorising other cars on the roads!!
