This low mileage Turbo 2 looks magnificent in its factory colour scheme of Pearl White with grey accents. The paint presents in excellent unmarked condition with a deep and even shine to the body. 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 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 fade-effect decals. The turbine wheels are entirely unmarked and are shod in recently fitted TRX tyres that have seen little use. All in all, a highly impressive and original example in a stunning colour combo, looking every bit the low mileage of just 52k.

Interior
The interior is a great place to be with the comfortable R5 seats and the original Iso-Delta wheel. The upholstery is 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 are generally un-faded and quite remarkably the original luggage straps are still fitted.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
With only 52k miles under its belt the car drives really well and sounds fantastic through the stainless exhaust. It’s certainly an experience when you’re behind the wheel, and the surge of power from the turbo is quite addictive! The car has very recently returned from a well-regarded marque specialist who carried out a full service and check over with new brake pads and discs all round. Aside from a bespoke Devil-style exhaust, Cevennes 4-into-1 manifold and a larger intercooler, the car is unmodified and still retains all the charm of a period-correct example.
History File
Finished in original Pearl White over beige this lovely example has driven only 52k miles from new. Presenting in excellent all-round condition the car 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 an excellent maintenance record and history file with paperwork dating right back to 1985. An original Renault dealer document pouch is present and includes a Turbo 2 owner’s manual. There is a stack of invoices detailing the car’s life to date including an official dating certificate from Renault in France. The V5C shows only 4 former keepers and it comes recently serviced and MOT’d for the new keeper’s peace of mind.

About Renault
Ah, Renault, a name that's as French as a croissant and as ingrained in automotive history as a baguette in a Parisian café. Let's take a leisurely drive through the annals of this storied manufacturer, shall we?Our story begins in the late 19th century when the Renault brothers, Louis, Marcel, and Fernand, decided to put their inventive minds to work. In 1898, they introduced their very first car, the Renault Voiturette. It was a petite, rear-engined contraption that looked like something Jules Verne might have designed. This pint-sized pioneer laid the foundation for Renault's automotive legacy.
Now, if we're talking about influential Renault models, we mustn't overlook the Renault 4. Launched in 1961, it was the French answer to the Volkswagen Beetle. The Renault 4 was practical, versatile, and designed to handle the rough and tumble of rural France. It was as much at home in the city as it was on a farm, a true embodiment of French pragmatism.
But let's not forget the Renault 5, or "Le Supercinq" as it was known in France. Introduced in the mid-'70s, this little hatchback was a design sensation. Its quirky, angular lines and cheeky personality made it an instant hit. It was economical, fun to drive, and became an icon of French urban life.
Then came the Renault Espace in 1984. It was one of the pioneers of the MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) segment. The Espace was designed for families who wanted the practicality of a van without sacrificing the comfort of a car. It was the beginning of a new era in family transport.
And let's not forget the Renault Twingo, introduced in 1992. It was a small city car that broke the mold with its innovative design and rear-engine layout. The Twingo was proof that small cars could be stylish and practical, and it was a hit with urban dwellers across Europe.
Now, if you want to talk about a true game-changer, it's the Renault Clio. First introduced in 1990, the Clio became a European favorite. It combined style, performance, and affordability in a way that few cars could match. It's the kind of car that's as comfortable on the Champs-Élysées as it is navigating the narrow streets of a French village.
But, of course, we can't forget the Renault Megane. It's been a stalwart of the compact car segment since its debut in 1995. With its distinctive rear-end design and a range of engines to suit every taste, the Megane has remained a strong contender in a competitive market.
So there you have it, a leisurely tour through the history of Renault, a company that has always managed to infuse a touch of French flair into the automotive world. Renault has given us cars that are as diverse as the French countryside itself, from practical workhorses to stylish city slickers. It's a brand that's as much a part of France's cultural tapestry as a bottle of Bordeaux or a game of pétanque. Vive la Renault!
