Well for £35k you could have yourself a Renault 5 turbo 2. only 11000 miles as well

No thanks!

That is pretty ace

For exactly the same price is a Porche GT3... I know which I'd be buying for that money

Rybo89 · 28 Apr 2012 at 07:51

r34-r35 money that, don't be silly.

danza · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:07

I get this.

Cars like this aren't about alternative cars, these cars are for collectors.

bmh.01 · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:40

Exactly, people spouting you can get xyz for the same money are missing the point.

Nodiggidy123 · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:42

that's about 15 mins from me. wonder if they will let me take it for a test drive!

Firestar_3x · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:43

We've had this argument before, quite a few people missed the point of rare classics like this.

Awesome car IMHO, I'd love to own one.

[TW]Fox · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:44

LOL you'd have to be completely insane to buy that.

Could buy 45,000 cans of Sprite.

Rybo89 · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:50

Spend 35k on a car you will not dare drive on the road incase of a accident or adding miles/wear to it.So will be sat in a garage for many more years.

Can think of many more cars I would prefer to sit and admire for £35k.

steve45 · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:51

I only hope that the person who does buy it actually intends to use it, cars like this should be used as intended, driven and driven hard, it really is a damn shame that cars like these rarely if ever see the road.

Says who?

The car is only going to go up in value, terrible way of spending money!!

Plus who says it won't be used? I've seen turbo 2's driven on the road before.

The sort of person who buys this is going to be well off, it won't be an only car, odds are he will already have a sports car.

Simon · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:55

Fox you are wrong! 7UP!

Firestar_3x · 28 Apr 2012 at 09:56

Both wrong, irn bru!

I very doubt the car will be used for what it was built for.

Much prefer to spend my money on a 67-69 mustang. Yes I understand people love the old Renault 5 turbo and it is a iconic French car. But no, in my opinion 35k can go on a much better classic.

O and Simon is right, 7up!

Or 35,000 chicken Mc Mayos. Can't argue with that.

Exactly. It'll be picked up by a collector - not someone looking to get the best value out of their 35k.
