Description

WeLcome to the sell of my Renault 5, HPI clear and low mileage (pics to be updated show new painted sills). A true classic and excellent example to be appreciated, I brought this off a friend as he needed money for family awhile back & had been my weekend summer car since. Breakdown of pros and cons below, being a classic I deem it to be a running project (road-worthy) and would be good to the right owner for the years to come. During the original restoration (2022, before I brought it) it has had new windscreen, new sills, bumper (painted), brakes, battery, and service (about 1500 gbps worth), engine was checked prior to restoration and runs very sweet/no issues. I since brought it and for MOT in 2022 (expire 2023) added new shocks, new wipers, new wheel arch panel welded, new tyres, new washer pump, new bonnet catch, all other important aspect checked (horn, choke, gearbox) at around 1000 GBP. In June 2024 I also spent about 650 gbp to redo the sills (derust and repainted as some rust was found - this last job ensured it was sealed properly), all panels was also thoroughly buffed to bring out original colour since. So in all over 3k worth of work is done to the car, genuine reason for sale as I am looking at another classic, and had a good few rides in this one - about 3000 miles during my ownership, it would drive from one end of UK to another with no issues but mpg isn't the best for a small car - 30-40 on e5 premium petrol depend on how you drive it. Drivability more like a go cart, very good around corners, but gas out from around 80mph onwards. Minor bad bits is that interior driver seat has a small rip, and minor imperfections to the roof lining, fuel reading isn't 100% accurate and shows no fuel when below 25% capacity, and speedometer don't work (told it was disconnected by owner before the last). In summary its one of a very few rare standard automatic 5 door hatchback 1.4 petrol that is mechanically sound and whose bodywork is well maintained with good money spent (see below), will keep if it does not sell and contrary to belief the car will take you anyway and is solid all round. Any Viewing and full inspection is welcomed and test drive is strongly recommended to see for yourself on the overall condition of the car. Can offer further details of previous owner and garage where MOT has done for proof. Any question is strongly welcomed and happy to accommodate a very long test drive providing proof of comprehensive insurance. Next MOT due 18/06/2024, Red, 5+ owners, £3,495
