Hello from long term Renault nut!

Hi All,

I am Andrew, otherwise known as R5Gordini - I used to run a site by that name. Gladly amalgamated with http://Turborenault.co.uk.

I have got all sorts of Renaults:

1984 Renault 5 Gordini Turbo
1986 Renault 5 Turbo 2
1989 Renault 5 GT Turbo EBS
1992 Renault 21 Turbo Quadra

For more details see:

https://turborenault.co.uk/t12374/

And my collection is set to grow (temporarily!). Looks like I will be selling my Gordini Turbo to make way for the new acquisition.

Watch this space! All will be revealed.

Andrew

Hi Andrew .

Hi Andrew, nice to see you on here

Hi Lee,

Great to hear from you - I've been following your progress on the various projects for some time!

I have e-mailed you (a somewhat verbose!) description of the car.

Andrew

Thank you, Stephen!

I"m looking forward to the reveal of the surprise car later

I won't ruin it

Nice to see you here Andrew. Looking forward to the reveal as well

[stephendell]

Well Andrew has collected it now (and not from me) so reveal imminent!

Is there anybody that doesn't know ?.....I've just bought half a dozen blades for the reciprocating saw and a pot of fibreglass resin

Nice to meet you yesterday, Tony! And no, I have not bought one of your cars

Here's the reveal!

I haven't had time to take some proper photos of it in the daylight, but I drove it home from Phildini's on Saturday. No major issues uncovered so far, but a few things to fix! I'll post in the "my projects" forum.

I am most nervous about hidden rot, but I hope it's ok - no idea how to check?

Anyway, the eBay buyer didn't materialise so I was offered it outside of eBay. Wasn't really looking to buy a 610 right now but I seized the opportunity.

Now I have to sell a R21 Diesel non-turbo and a 1984 Renault 5 TL. That's selling two cars to make room for one! Still considering whether to sell my Gordini Turbo - I have potential interest.

Andrew

And very funny, guys! I am glad to be a part of the club.

Please someone tell me it hasn't got rusty sills!
