Yas! There can't be many of these to the pound in the US? An '88 GT Turbo was one of my first cars, not as cool as this but 120 bhp and drove like a go-kart, I loved it - except for it not starting when hot and the brakes disintegrating after crossing the Forth Road bridge. My neighbour nearly wrote it off after reversing into the passenger side door - the door constituting about 95% of the side of the car! 😅 Love your collection and your uploads - keep 'em coming!!

So much crazy is such a perfect little package! I only ever saw one in the flesh, at a UK motor show. I tried to convince my mother (who hated driving) that it would be a perfect little hatchback! She kindly listened and said that she would consider what I said. Then I tried to sell her on a M635csi! It would have cost more than our house! Only a mother would listen and pretend to take me seriously. Thank you Tons of Gas for sharing your collection and triggering some old memories.

The stock R5s were junk. Everything was wrong with them. Head gaskets, brakes, radiators, clutches, gearbox. Terrible interiors. They broke often and were notorious money pits. Nothing remained of the stock versions in their rally cars except the engine block which was worked on. People bought them for their looks and soon regretted it. French trash.
