AI Listing Summary
This is a modified 1985 Renault R5 Turbo 2, one of 200 homologation models, with a swapped 1.3-liter Mazda 13B rotary engine. It features a Turbonetics turbocharger, Life Racing ECU, and Gotti wheels. Noted issues include potential odometer discrepancies and minor cosmetic wear.
Condition
6
While the car is described as having undergone refurbishment and has several aftermarket upgrades, there are noted cosmetic issues such as cracks in the windshield pillar trim and between the boost and oil pressure gauges. Additionally, the Carfax report indicates potential odometer rollbacks, which raises concerns about the accuracy of the mileage. These factors suggest that while the car may be in good running condition, it requires some attention to address both cosmetic and potential mechanical issues.
