Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1980 Renault 5 Turbo Group 4, chassis number VF1822000B0000036, is the first Renault 5 Turbo homologated for Group 4 racing. Driven by Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Marc Andrié in the 1980 Tour de France Automobile and Tour de Corse, it's the only surviving ex-Works, Calberson-liveried Renault 5 Group 4, retaining its period-correct paint, stickers, and factory-correct components.
Condition
7
The car retains its period-correct paint and stickers, alongside its factory-correct engine, gearbox and mechanical components. The car has been maintained and serviced. However, the car has been used for racing and has been sold a few times. I would rate the car as very good.

As evidenced by a copy of the 1980 carte grise on file, this example was first road-registered on 8 September 1980, with the license plate “126 TZ 91”, and its titled owner stated as “S.
A.
Renault Sport”.
This vehicle was adorned in the iconic Calberson-sponsored red-and-yellow livery.
This particular 5 Turbo was made by Renault at its Formula 1 department in Antony, France, constructed at the same time as Alain Prost’s single-seater race car.
This makes chassis number “B0000036” the solitary non-F1 entrant to have been built at this famed facility, with all other ca...
