1990 Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider - Low Mileage, Original

 

First introduced in the 1980s as the high-performance evolution of Renault’s iconic supermini, the Renault 5 GT Turbo has long been celebrated for its lightweight engineering, eager turbocharged power delivery and motorsport-inspired character. Today, surviving examples in original condition are increasingly scarce, and collectors value authenticity, low mileage and documented history above all else.

​

First registered in April 1990, this Renault 5 GT Turbo Raider is offered in its distinctive Blue/Grey colour scheme and stands out as an outstandingly original, low-owner example showing just 85,312 miles from new. MOT documentation tracks the mileage consistently from 1993, with notable entries including 2010 at 85,262 miles, 2011 at 85,264 miles and 2012 at the same figure, confirming the remarkably modest use the car has seen for more than a decade. It retains a collection of old tax discs that further authenticate its preserved history.

​

In 2023 the car received a full service at 85,277 miles, including a brake overhaul and MOT, ensuring that it is mechanically prepared for continued enjoyment. The paintwork presents exceptionally well and remains true to its original finish. The interior, trimmed in factory cloth, is impressively well-kept with an unworn cockpit that speaks to careful ownership and limited use. Even the original tape player remains in situ, a rare and charming detail seldom found in cars of this era.

​

On the road this GT Turbo lives up to its reputation, delivering the light, responsive and engaging driving experience that made the model so sought-after when new. With its originality, low mileage and very few owners, this Raider edition represents a desirable and increasingly difficult-to-find example of Renault’s iconic hot hatch—an opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike seeking a genuine piece of 1990s performance heritage.
