Chris I’m with you....Majorette is a hidden treasure trove of classic Euro. I love everything about this, especially the car itself. The instrument panel was well done! -David

[@SidewaysKing75]

Thanks David..... you've hit the nail on the head with that ' treasure trove of classic Euro' 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍

[@brianartillery]

My dad fell in love with the Renault 5 turbo, after hiring one on a holiday in Spain, in the early 1980's, which, according to my mum, made him drive like 'A bloody maniac.' He wanted to buy one when they got back, but mum put her foot down, sadly. He then got the biggest Cortina he could find (he hated Sierras, for some reason), and then, in 1988, swapped that for a big Audi. Which he drove like a bloody maniac. Hurrah!

[@SidewaysKing75]

[@SidewaysKing75]

Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍Sounds like great memories!

[@ZGryphon]

Very nice! Amazingly, we had the 5 here in the US for a few years in the late '70s and early '80s, when American Motors imported them and sold them as, I kid you not, "Le Car". Of course, we only got the _boring_ models, including a hilariously named "Sport" version that had--brace yourself--51 horsepower. It was a bleak, bleak time for cars in the United States. :)

[@SidewaysKing75]

Haha thats a stereotype right there LOL! Mind you I had a 1.6 Sierra that was 2 or 3 times the size of that little Renault and that had 65bhp!! You guys more than make up for it in throbbing V8's and mostly RWD machines 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍

Thanks buddy as always.... no buckets this time 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍

[@lotharrenz4621]

treasure trove indeed. Majorette made models of everyday cars which most have long since vanished off the streets... they also added many details from late 70's on, like gloves on the rear deck, a golf bag in the back of a Golf, suitcases, umbrellas, and so on. and the springed suspension proved to be nigh-indestructable; all I have seen were only corroded, not bent. you might be right about the baseplates being galvanized, must have ocurred around 79 or something. then again the zamac was special, I only encountered one baseplate with zinc sickness in all these years, which crumbled away under my fingers. even the old ones refuse to corrode... I still have the leftover body. XD wonderful work on another rallye car for your collection. interesting and rare colour scheme, too. the ref you showed seems to have used a Mk2 front parts to make room for the massive (takes deep breath) HEADLIGHTS. love the wheels, too (though the rear ones could have been twice as wide XD), and the stance. lowriders won't work on a rallye track... ;)

[@SidewaysKing75]

Same tastes Lothar for sure. I don't think there were many Majorettes i didn't like probably more down to the quirkyness of some of them. They did have litle wacky detaisl didn't they :) Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍

Your R5 end result looks terrific in the red and black, and wow, that dash board. Yes, lower looked more realistic, but nothing wrong with how you left it. I love it! Cheers, Ady.

Thanks for this surprise!!! I do love this kind of simple builds, but the result just speak to itself. Also I want to point out the decal of the rear quarter, is from an ad from 1989 for the Barcelona olympics, "Hechos para el 92" meaning "Ready (built) for 92" maybe predicting the next generation of the Renault 5 turbo... Anyway I've always been a huge fan of Majorettes lovely details and very good times spent with those bouncy suspensions. Nice build my friend!!!

[@SuperHoggster]

As a Group B Rally aficionado, and rally fan in general, I love this. Brilliantly done as always. All these race cars would take pride of place within my collection of GrB/Touring cars. I do think this is an R5 Turbo (or Turbo 1) rather than the Maxi Turbo. The Maxi Turbo had the Big spots on the bumper and bonnet and the boot lid was a bit more square. An IMSA version of the R5 turbo would be a test.... keep up the good work though. These are amazing.

[@SidewaysKing75]

Thank you and for the correction on the model..... I always thought the 'Maxi' referred to this mid-engine wide body beast, by the sounds of it, it was like an Evo 2 version of the original. All the best

[@SuperHoggster]

Spot on SidewaysKing75 . The Maxi was essentially an Evo version of the R5 Turbo. Homologated to run in GrB. Still, the talent you have for these is incredible. Would take them all in an instant for my collection. Amazing work. 👌🏻👌🏻

[@rob9472]

Fantastic stuff as always, When I was a trainee mechanic many moons ago there was a guy that had a very modified R5 GT Turbo which he somehow managed to explode the engine on twice in a month, Good times, As an aside I always liked Majorette models for some unknown reason the one I remember most was a blue Citroen Acadiane, No idea where that ended up.

Hi buddy, I don't know if you remember I asked if you could do a decal sheet Nissan headlamps, i came across your video again, so checked your site and boom they are there. Fantastic I will be ordering a few sets next Monday... me and my three year old had a routine after nursery we go to the shop and buy a new hotwheel, normally every day. Because of the kungflu we haven't bought any and it slipped my mind. He is having withdrawals I think 😝, and I must admit I enjoyed buying them with him too. And if you have another spare Peugeot 205 I'd buy one off you, I owned 4 of them at one point had a xs 1.6 gti and a 1.9 gti and because I loved them I had to have a convertible as well. I paid less than a grand for each one I am not rich but this was 10-15 years ago, they was being scrapped at an alarming rate.

[@SidewaysKing75]

Yes I do remember.... ill get round to doing more headlights again soon too. The 1.9GTi was a great car and arguably looked the best Hot Hatch in standard trim than all the rest of that era. Whilst I was an RS Turbo man a couple of pals had the GTi and they were great 👍

Fantastic job Chris, looks better than the "real" cars did. I never trusted the ordinary, production cars in corners.
