We Found A Legendary Group B Rally Car In This Derelict Garage!.. A True Turbo Treasure!!

In this weeks video i made an absolutely incredible discovery, a legendary group B rally car for the road!  The Renault 5 Turbo or R5 Turbo is a sport hatchback and was launched by the French manufacturer Renault at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1980. The car was primarily designed for rallying, but was also sold in a mid engine street version called the Turbo 2… This very car! The car has been park up for many years but is now finally going to be moved… and we’re being invited back to film the extraction!! It’s definitely not going yo be easy, but will be a LOT of fun!! Hope you enjoy this weeks video guys 😊

Très rare la renault 5 TX ! version limitée avec équipements spécifiques ! 👏👏👏

[@p24hrsmith]

A quick look at Turbo 2's for sale £90k plus so you could pay £30k as it is spend £50k restoring it and still make a tidy profit of £10k plus ... That bumper is off a Mk1 Mini prob the estate

[@user-qb7sk4up5w]

I think bumper is off a 1964 Morris Mini-Minor Traveller.

[@robertmustard1711]

Hi Colin great explore mate imstokze has been there 😊

[@hoggmotorsport]

Awesome find!! Not every day you see a Group B Legend left in a shed!

[@sarahtaylor2492]

Hi Collin. There’s always something so fascinating about old cars being taken over by nature. I love seeing these old cars, thanks for the video x

[@nickb5391]

I've been past that place today, a few of the cars on the front have slowly disappeared over the years a MK1 Escort estate & a Volvo Amazon was two i remember

[@Smithy1789]

Wow what a find, would love to see that fully restored. Need someone like Car SOS to do it. 😉

[@Retrorickmg]

Up until around seven years ago there was a E30 M3 on the drive where the Volvo is parked !! Had been there for years , he was living in the house and a far as I know still is !

[@richardtaylor7754]

Hi Colin. The red and white CB 900 F2C Bol'Dor was a treat. I picked one up along time ago from a chap who was sadly unable to finish the project due to ill health. I managed to get it on the road and years later when listed on ebay it turns out it had been linked to a family on the isle of man. The guy came next day to pick it up. Just go to show that old vehicles regardless of age and condition hold a special place in everyone's life at some point. Pleasure to watch your uploads as allways!!

[@SEN_KID]

It's great to know there are still classic cars out there 😊

[@J-D..]

Just why is all I have to say absolutely Brilliant Colin that has to be saved it absolutely can’t be left thanks for sharing 👍

[@spikeyplants438]

Hi Guys well what a find those Renaults are more rare then rocking horse poo! That has to be saved and brought back to its full glory. A few of the other cars need saving as well but what a job to get them out of that jungle.Great commentary Colin as usual,hope you have a great trip to Scotland and look forward to what you film there for us.Take care.😀

[@garylinnane917]

1983 Renault turbo 2 hand built in the f1 factory. It's one of my favourite cars in the time of my younger days 😊

[@chuckclark9464]

It was definitely well the wait to see that last car even though it’s in the shape that it’s in I would love to see that thing completely finished and in prime condition.

[@stephenlambert1548]

absolutly love the renault5 turbo my all time car i want to own love the video keep up the great work

[@martinevans1256]

Your right it’s a mini bumper with over riders

[@reddyreddy2618]

Had a Citroen ax 1 litre, loved it, the boot lids were plastic, and would move around a bit as the temperature changed, on really hot days I could get the boot to open if I hit certain roundabout near me hard enough! I think they were galvanised, hence no rust on that one.

[@fredericlegall690]

Le bas du coffre en plastique est fixé à la vitre et la vitre au toit . Si la vitre casse , les vérins d'ouverture poussent le bas du coffre et le casse 👎.

[@01FozzyS]

That poor Turbo 2!!

[@neilpassingham7309]

I remember watching the Renault 5 Turbo 2's racing at Donington Park in 1984

[@adamdennis7167]

Definitely seen this on YT before but this is a better look around. Old secret spots ! True tho loads of them bits would be missing if anyone knew where this was

[@amandabeech8472]

Another nice video, it’s a shame the turbo being stuck in a old shed, should be saved. You had a nice car Colin. 😂

[@davetaylor4741]

Astonishing find. Amazed this collector had such a car. Even an RS 2000 not really that special. Just a mass produced Ford. You saw loads of them in the day. Only collectable now because everyone got rid of them. Other miscellaneous rubbish and then the Turbo 2. Different ball game. Well worth saving. I read the other day the most expensive Ford the RS 200 rally car. A guy up the road from me had one. Did rallycross in it. These sort of cars are legends. Great find.

[@seankiing5300]

Thumbs up for the r5s

[@kennethcroll6972]

15.45 that's a Kensitas card you got from cigarettes packs back in around the 60's 70's once you saved up 1,000's of them, you would take them to a shop a bit like argo's. i remember my mum getting camping stuff for when we went camping

[@trappedinkalifornee]

That is not a Renault 5 turbo…..that is a CRIME SCENE I can’t believe someone has let that thing get to that state…..the horror the horror……

[@twist_of_the_wrist]

Citroen AX 1.5D was my 1st car.. Best car ever

[@sarahtaylor2492]

My sisters partner rebuilt an escort rs from scratch showed it at Sherborne car show with photos of all the stages from beginning to end and sold it for 25 grand, beautiful car x

[@SmasherDobson8443]

I was driving home one day through the worst estate in town near a row of garages, next thing I seen a turbo 2 so I pulled over I said to the fella where's that been he said in one of them garages for 30 years, honestly it was like brand new completely original easily worth a 100 bags..

[@thughes52]

Cool cars Colin pity the rs2000 got nicked would have been cool to see that too 👍

[@sharonarcher6548]

Absolutely beautiful x

[@markcurzon4567]

Love the video it was amazing love the turbo 2 I got a 1.18 dicast model car in the same colour as the turbo 2 lovey you find a rare car

[@nickb5391]

@17.13, yes a Mini bumper earlier MK1 & 2 type

[@focus3415]

That poor cortina only had six years before she was dumped there

[@atrem7942]

This is how dreams start,

[@ExpressoMechanicTV]

A mate of mine had a Renault 5 Turbo, years ago, but it wasn't a 2.

[@paulandjana]

I had a mk5 Cortina, mini, Renault 5(Le car) and the little AX with a plastic boot. One day the sun got it that hot the back window just exploded on it own. I was like “wtf” I thought a hitman was out to get me!! lol

[@screwthecabal6453]

Some car manufacturers used a zinc coating on the metal panels to prevent rust and corrosion.

[@russellmorley2290]

Sat there since end Jan 86

[@finleysmith8070]

Drive past this often as live 10 mins away!

[@callummottram5408]

Hi mate I film car videos and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for this location as I have looked everywhere and asked people and not got back to me please and thanks for your time

[@stevenmoran4060]

The other Renault 5 is a standard 5TX with standard steering wheel just the centre missing, or it’s an end of range Renault 5 Flair. They were only available in Red, Blue or White. A roof spoiler at the rear would give that away. The bumper is a mark 1 mini bumper and those cards were cigarette coupons! The 5 Turbo 2 isn’t a group B car at all. It’s just the homologation car made for road use. The rally car would have a roll cage, different seats and no carpet at all and a different front bumper with spotlights built into it. But, spares are available in France for the road car so it could be rebuilt.

[@supremecamels7736]

The TX was also available in black :)

[@FRFRANKIE]

Hi Colin, hope your doing good. I thought that white car was a Peugeot. I loved the video. So sorry I couldn't donate this week. Stay safe and take care.

[@john0597]

Great video watch this Saturday the 6th of July 24th

[@Simmo_Cars]

I’ve had this location down for a little while, I suppose this is what I get for not visiting sooner; shame it’s being cleared. Let’s hope all of the cars aren’t just getting scrapped

[@callummottram5408]

Hi mate I film car video and can't find this location anywhere so can you please try point me in the right direction please thank for your time

[@danielgibbsbarlow8069]

Wow some good stuff in there house and grounds will probably be flattened for a new house as looks like a lot off space shame about the cars hopefully some get saved

[@heritagesteamandrockfan1988]

Just checked the DVLA site Colin and the tax was due in 1986 on that cortina so gives you some idea of how long it's been there for!

[@base7022]

Ich gehe kaputt!!!! Thank you for this video. CheeRS Klaus from Düsseldorf

[@tinadavies7537]

Wow nice cars

[@chillguy72]

Them old kensitas coupons bring back old memories u could trade them for goods out the kensitas catalougue

[@dnf1903]

Hiya Colin-love all your videos but I especially enjoy the car find ones. Thankyou.

[@colinattwood2413]

Yes mate it is from a mini.

[@walkinginthesun]

The ford courtina was last tax in 1986 the owneeship change was in 1985

[@kindelvanterpool1417]

That Renault car 🚗 is a Renault can be saved and can be driven again, with the right owner and the right Driver. 😀☝️

[@keithsmith9712]

The parts for the Renault 5 turbo are probably buried under all the crap!!

[@clairefunnell8481]

Great find. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@luisbatista5]

The steering wheel of the Renault 5 TX is original, it is the same one used in the Renault 9/11 Turbo but with slight modifications close to the center of the steering wheel in the latter mentioned.

[@danieleaton1399]

My mate would love that turbo2 he specialises in these and alpine GTA think he's currently working on a MK1 raider

[@imfuctifino]

The 5TX is quite a rare model in itself, wheels and steering wheel are std. IIRC, the model numbers were L, TL, GTL, TS, TX, Gordini, Gordini Turbo. TX being the extra equipment. Plush edition with gordini 1.4 engine

[@fredericlegall690]

Et aussi la très rare LS .

[@rallycrosscraig]

Was it a genuine one or a home made special using a R5 shell? I think the cheapest these got to in the U.K. was around £12k-£15k around 2001/2002. A lot were used in competition as rally cars / hill climb etc maybe it got damaged and parked up then forgotten about - a great barn find to see !

[@TheBeardedExplorer]

💯 genuine and it’s being saved 😁

[@rallycrosscraig]

@@TheBeardedExplorergreat news a very special car

[@wayneraymondsharp9459]

Renault 5gt turbo 2 is it an alpine

[@fredericlegall690]

Renault 5 GT turbo 2 n'existe pas. Il y a : R5 Alpine ( moteur avant ) , R5 Alpine Turbo ( moteur avant), Renault 5 turbo ( moteur arrière et portes aluminium , tableau de bord spécifique ,appelée par erreur " Turbo 1", Renault 5 turbo 2 et 5 GT Turbo qui est une autre voiture.

[@graffscoob]

Is that a un1 gear box in turbo 2

[@ricbrook7059]

The R5 Turbo was never a Group B rally car, it pre-dated them. Still worth a fortune in good condition tho.

[@rallycrosscraig]

Yes was way before group B 1981 or close (otherwise would have been 4wd) but it did get rallied under group B regs/homologated. An amazing little car when new and even more so now:

If the owner is looking for a good home for the Ax let me know! It can come join our clan!

[@twistit6307]

Sad to say but atlest some of the things got stolen atlest they are getting a second chance instead of returning to the ground who ever owns it now doesn't deserve it 😔

[@catcam2850]

Wo ist das bitte Gruppe B? Das ist ein ganz normaler R5 mit Mittelmotor.....

[@davidcope7651]

Sorry to burst your bubble but groupB rally cars didn't have sunroofs

[@TheSausagematt]

there's real R5 turbo2s with sunroofs, just that they were dealer fitted and not factory. Crap thing to put on any car to be honest 🤣

[@19ZORES72]
