Yeah, don't buy that. Love how he says it's been patched up but when you ask for photos he says it is minor and nothing to worry about.
He just wants you to go as you've already admitted to him if you turn up you'll buy it.

I've heard ph1s are a lot less refined than a ph2 so just bare that in mind, might be worth driving one so you're not disappointed when comparing to your old car? I'd check for rust there on every clio you go to look at tbh

ai unfortunately this to me is a 1500 quid car, it looks to of been looked after and its a nice spec but it needs a grand chucking at it to sort the rust on the rears (not that hard to do really, so no need to panic imo) and the gearbox.

if the lad won't budge on price he's not being realistic

But someone will buy it.

As projects go, it could be worse.

If you want to end up with something to this standard, the original purchase price is small change.

I’m 5 minutes from Slough and gym there. What time are you thinking and I can swing by before or after the gym but in honesty, I’ll probably take one look (and have the info from this thread) and tell you to walk.

Tbh mate a don’t know if I am going to still go ahead with the purchase I txted him this morning and he said he could bring the price down to £2200 but still a lot of money for me if it needs a lot of work.

Plus I would be coming from Glasgow as well so fair bit of travel

Don’t make me feel bad haha. But in essence yes well I haven’t bought it as yet so to speak until wed. But I love the ph1 and they are getting rarer my dad still has his and I love the whole long front end etc.

What would yous do? Have I made a mistake[emoji31]or can I still find a diamond in the rough for my money.

I did want a turboed 172 but just trying to justify £5 the misses wasn’t having it haha

The 5k on a turbo 172 would be the budget to keep it on the road after you buy it !!

Lovely car l had two of these back in the early 1990’s
Be interested to hear what you think of it, power was around 120bhp and the Clio 182 is 180ish.
But my memory is of very rapid acceleration when the turbo kicked in, 0-60 in under seven seconds on a good day.
No PAS ABS etc
I bet that R5 Turbo was not cheap, does make you realise what a bargain the Clio 172/182 is for an old school hot hatch.

Well I had one before and my dad had a Gordini turbo so wen. Sold it and started driving the clios in the back of my mind wanted another.

Yes it wasn’t cheap but I will tell u how much I got if for on Wednesday. You could take a guess tho lol.

This isn’t going to be modified or tuned at all simply kept standard more than likely will never sell it tbh. Well a hope not lol

That Renault 5 GT Turbo looks absolutely stunning in the photos, nice to see a clean and original one especially in the red!

Is that going to be a daily tho? I'd be worried to leave it anywhere lol!

I saw you mentioned Ollie's Turbo'd Monaco, I can confirm its as good as it looks in the photos with all the right mods, done by the right people, used as his daily for a year (year since turbo conversion at ED) and never had any problems if that's the sort of thing you might fancy as well - it's the classic line again, you get what you pay for. He's a good friend of mine and I was actually out with the car last night!

No won’t be my daily as I have my company car.
A think I need to get a lock up for the car but in the meantime will need to buy a steering lock or somthing like that.

Yeah the Monaco is honestly stunning again. I have put a deposit on the r 5 gt turbo but if I go there and there is something not right with the car etc etc I still would walk away. End of the day a lot of money to spend and a want to spend it wisely.

Shame none of these cars are up scotland [emoji23][emoji23].

Nice!!!! That looks awsome. Slightly different to the Clio. You need a dry home for that over the winter months up there I reckon.

I’d put that red 5GT Turbo at £14-15,000 if it's as good as it looks.

Yesss love the R5!

Before I caught up I was going to suggest a rethink on the ph1 as the rust repairs cost a fair whack along with a gearbox rebuild.

Excellent choice on the r5 though and it’ll only appreciate in value if you take care of it.

My 5 Turbo’s are both long dead. D715 MDB was stolen from the dealer a week after l traded it for a 205.
The other one H390 CVR l sold when l bought a Fiat Punto
Which soon turned out to be a mistake and l traded it for an Alfa Romeo after only two months

Don't worry, I get you. My mrs doesn't understand why I spent a fortune on my 106 Rallyé when it only leaves the garage to go to MOT lol.

Best of luck with the car man, make sure it's well locked up away from prying eyes.
