capsuleboy Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 You will all know this lovely little R5. Mot until 5/6/18, tax exempt, nice solid car that came in a couple of years ago.Original paint mostly which will cut back and polish, but with many signs of age. Rock solid with little or no structural rust, front seats are wrong and a bit tatty.Had a rebuilt engine from Renospeed at a cost of £2000, and just had a s/hand heater matrix fitted, tappets set and a general check over.I drove it to Stratford for the citroen rally recently and it went really well.I have the V5 and its taxed and insured if you want a ride.Why am I selling it, well I want to buy a 16 and have been offered a deal on a car I went to see in France this summer.£1999 takes it...

capsuleboy Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Fresh in from the south of France this project is rock solid. Its been standing now so bring a fresh battery and some tlc and it will run and drive.The mileage is high, over 200,000km, so expect some wear and as I remember the brakes feel as if they are made of wood!Its all original and rust free on the chassis and body, with the exception of the back edge of the boot floor. Damp has been trapped under the tailgate seal.00The car was on the road in France until recently as a workhorse so expect a well used car, not a pampered classic.I love R4's and have owned over 20 and have 4 earlier examples, so I know where to look and what to look for.When you see this you will never want to try and restore a rusty one again.Shiply will deliver for you, get a quote from LE4.Cash on collection or bank transfer please. I will do the NOVA for the buyer. Lacquer Peel, Dirk Diggler, Dick Longbridge and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 How much outrageously expensive do you want for the 'trelle? bigfella2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The R5 is incredibly tempting... no money in the pot at the moment though. I'll do some serious thinking... If it was a dash-change model I think I'd already be on my way to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
