Finished in baby blue with black interior, this is a rare example of one of Renault’s most popular cars from the last 50 years.
Imported from France in 2014 to the UK, and hence LHD, it is believed the 5 spent much of its life in the south of France - which may account for its condition. It has also apparently featured in an episode of TV’s Flipping Bangers.
The Renault presents well - very unspoiled and all the better for it! The paintwork is clean and tidy, as is the interior. The rubber floor matting is a nice touch, as is the lovely headlining. Matching tyres complement the steel wheels.
The 5 drove well for our video - no warning lights were present.
There are a number of invoices for work carried out on in both French and English, plus an original R5 brochure, workshop manual, and a period Autocar magazine.
In addition, the 5 comes with a box of spares including the original steering wheel, a spare pair of rear quarter panels, centre console, radio, and some touch up paint.
Overall a usable and tidy example of this iconic French hatchback offered at no reserve.
