What a little weapon the Renault 5 GT Turbo was , 5 of us went on road trips all over the uk in early 90s , that was when petrol was available without a bank loan … best days of my life ..
I would love a road trip all across England, one of the most beautiful countries in the world (It's up there with Norway) but sadly fuel prices are just out of this world.
Watch from 7.00 to 7.15 min. Elvis blitz the wheel on badly and potentially ruined at least the threads in the rear hub. Watch what happens what he tells Mike to hurry up and he spins his wheel.
Always got the impression that this episode along with others where the original owner "buys it back" wasnt quite as it seems I think these episodes were faked, maybe an agreement was made with the cars owner and Wheeler Dealers where the show does the work for the cars owner and they pretend to buy and sell it to make the show Its not a criticism, I don't mind coz we got to see great cars get a new lease if life But the show could of been more transparent with us
Wish Elvis was my mechanic. So knowledgeable 😊

Great work, love the little R5 GTT. Elvis is leagues better than previous, keep them coming.

Beautiful car. Lovely colour. Great job.

Clever fellow Elvis wow! Wot a great car.

G,day mate👍
Someone who refers themselves as 'Elvis' based on a surname 'Priestley' says it all ! Bring back Ed and Ant.
Remember my mate passing one of these uphill in his mk2 Cavalier 2.0 GLI 100mph in 3rd gear.
3rd gear 100mph😂😂😂😂😂😂 yeah doing about 9000 rmp screaming it's guts out. My 2.8i capri only did 100 in 3rd before the limiter kicked in ar 6300rph
@@Heartofaloin GLi was long geared.
Would do 60 in 2nd
@@GadgetMart
I had the 2.0 CDi and Sri, noway would it do 100 in 3rd without sending a piston though the cam shaft
@@Heartofaloin GLi was longer geared than the SRi
My mate had a mk2 can CDi Y reg and that did 100 in third gear!!! Them old cavs were mental😯
That thing was going bananas
Actually, a similar blue R5 turbo costs in a netherland car dealership 40.000€. 🤔😮❗
Wonderful skills Elvis

Turbos were really weak on them, seen at least 2 them blow there guts out.
Had 2. First one blew up so I got rid and the 2nd ended up wrapped round a tree. Good fun though..
