1983 Renault 5 Turbo Group B 'Tour de Corse'
One of only 20 works cars, the 1983 Renault 5 Turbo Group B Tour de Corse works rally car was a mid-engined homologation special built in very limited numbers for Group B rallying between 1979 and 1986.
Essentially a two-seater supercar and with a top speed of 162mph, the model made its rally debut in 1980 on the Tour de Course. There is known ownership history from new, and with the exception of the gearbox (which also accompanies the lot). All parts of this example are said to be original.
Top estimate: £222,000.
