"Nicely functioning and long-term preserved, stripped-back French small-car charm."

Description

It was delivered to its first owner in December 1988, who drove just over 50,000 km before trading it in three years later. A new owner purchased the car in January 1992. It then remained in the same family and was laid up in a heated garage in 1997 until the current owner took over in the autumn of 2024. By then, it had not been started for over 27 years.

The current owner carried out servicing, inspection, a general clean-up, and had the car roadworthy inspected. The car was originally intended as a learner driver vehicle for his daughter, but those plans had to change due to other wishes.

The most recent approved inspection was completed on 2025-11-27 after repairs to the ball joint, rear fog light, and rear brakes.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine, gearbox, brakes, and chassis feel tight and normal for the mileage. Easy to drive with five gears and modest performance, just as it should be for a small French car. The blower motor sounds bad after the long period of storage; it is easily accessible and should be straightforward to replace with a bit of research, either as a used or new part.

  • Interior condition:

    Unworn and well-preserved interior with sturdy, period-correct extra rubber floor mats, likely supplied by the Swedish importer Volvo. Nice headliner and door panels, with some wear around the driver’s door handle. A period-correct radio would suit the empty slot well, and a pair of matching speakers remain in the doors. The interior trim panel on the inside of the tailgate is missing, but the cover for the rear wiper motor is present.

  • Exterior condition:

    Original paint throughout except for the driver’s door, which was repainted in the early 1990s and finished in a period-correct spray filler, resulting in some paint bubbling. A couple of areas to keep an eye on are where the B-pillars meet the sills (see photos). Otherwise, the exterior plastic trim has been treated and cleaned, giving a pleasing overall appearance. New tyres on the original wheels.

  • General condition:

    An eighties small car in rarely preserved, road-ready condition. A kind of unpretentious youngtimer and today a collectible vehicle representing everyday motoring of its era.

Facts about the model

The Renault 5 was originally launched in 1972 as a compact, practical, and affordable car, notable for its revolutionary integrated bumpers. The auction car, the second generation known as the Supercinq, was introduced in 1984 with a design that deliberately paid homage to the original model.

However, the second generation was based on a new platform derived from the larger Renault 9/11 models, making it wider, longer, and more spacious inside. The engines were mounted transversely, unlike the longitudinal layout of the first generation, all in order to maximize interior space.

In 1988, the Renault 5 was offered in several trim levels, ranging from basic versions such as the “Five” to sportier variants like the GTX and the turbocharged GT Turbo. The TS, with its 1.4-litre engine producing 58 hp, positioned itself as a mid-range option offering balanced performance, comfort, and fuel economy for a broad audience. Production of the Supercinq continued until 1996 in certain versions, despite its successor, the Renault Clio, having been launched as early as 1990.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
