EXTERIOR
This low mileage Turbo 2 looks magnificent in its original factory colour scheme of Bleu Marine with Bronze Grey accents. The bodywork presents really well with a deep shine and a lovely metallic flake in the paint. The contrasting bumpers, spoiler, and sill covers are also in excellent condition and retain the correct matte finish. The car is fitted with genuine Cibie Iode 35 fog lamps in perfect working order. All the grilles are in fine condition with no damage to report, and the doors are finished with the correct Turbo 2 decals. All in all, a highly impressive and original example in a rarely seen colour combo, looking every bit the low mileage of just 38k.
INTERIOR
The interior is a great place to be with the comfortable R5 seats and the original Iso-Delta wheel. The upholstery is entirely unmarked with no sagging issues. The leather steering wheel and gear knob are also in excellent original condition, and the beige carpets are well protected in the footwells by a newly fitted set of tailored overmats in black with beige edging. The carpets appear original and un-faded, only the rear parcel shelf has been recovered. All the gauges work just as they should, the only upgrade over standard being a discreet engine cut-off switch below the steering wheel.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
With only 38k miles under its belt, the car drives particularly well, sounding fantastic through the stainless exhaust (the original is included). It’s certainly an experience when you’re behind the wheel, and the surge of power from the turbo is really quite addictive. The car has just returned from well-regarded marque specialists JPR Classics with whom the current owner has spent an eye-watering £7, 700. This work included the replacement of all hoses with OEM quality items, a coolant system flush, a new radiator fan, rocker cover refurbishment, new brake pads front and rear, new rear shocks, new anti-roll bar links and rubbers, refurbishment of the alternator, gear linkage repair, new wiper blades, a new engine bay temperature fan sensor, a full service and a general tune-up.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The car sits on its original turbine alloy wheels with the correct polished finish; there is no curb marking to report but a small amount of wear to the lacquer is visible. The wheels are shod in Michelin TRX tyres with ample tread left at each corner. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition, benefiting from new pads all round at the current mileage.
HISTORY FILE
Finished in original Bleu Marine over beige this lovely example has driven only 38k miles from new. It has just returned from a full £7, 700 shakedown at R5 Turbo specialists JPR Classics (formerly John Price Rallying) and now offers a rare opportunity to purchase one of the 80s’ most exotic and sought-after hot hatches.
Unlike many other examples that are a little light on paperwork, this one is accompanied by a great History File with invoices dating back to 1992. An original Renault dealer document pouch is present and includes a Turbo 2 owner’s manual. There are numerous invoices and receipts for the many thousands that have been spent on the car since landing in the UK in 2016, and an official certificate of production from Renault France is also on file.
