The grille looks like it was sold separately!

The car was up for 1.5k, then 995 and now 395. So presumably trying to recover some of his costs. Iirc the correct grille was in very good condition.

Current price isn't much more than scrap. Especially if the engine is a runner.

1990 Renault 5 1.4 74,000mls - £700
Renault 5 gts for sale needs a little tlc starts and runs.
The car is still very original with 95% of the windows and lights still having the reg number etched into them.
Carburettor could do with a clean needs some welding on the sills.
Interior fan doesn’t work (motor is ok) needs both rear window regulators and possibly a water pump.
Just had rear shoes and wheel bearings comes with spare headlights and trims also a front bumper.
Will be sad to see the French baguette go but just have the time to do it.
Car is located in gu35 area

^^^I do quite like the R5, if this was in my neck of the woods I might have had thoughts on buying it just for shitz and giggles. And ludicrous body leaning antics when cornering with enthusiasm.

Sorry if this has been done already.

300 miles, 13K. Being a sad fuck with little in his life I rather like 800s. Had this been a Fastback I probably would.

Nearly bought an R5 Campus when back in 1987. Made an appointment with the Renault dealer for 7pm mid week when they were supposed to be open. Got there and the twats had closed early. As I had to drive past the Peugeot dealer on the way home I called in and ended up buying a 205 Junior.

Those Mk2s drive more golf than (real rolypoly) Renault. You want a Mk1, they are great!

There are worse ways to spaff £10k. Be ideal for the occasional airport run.
