Genuine Barn Find 80s hot hatch - real life Forza Horizon

This is a genuine barn find of a true 80s hot hatch survivor. Jonny Smith headed back to Wales to pounce on a hibernating Renault 5 GT Turbo that hadn't moved since its tax ran out in 2001. Several things really attracted Jonny to this Renault 5, which had been brought to our attention by a fellow car hoarder called Sion Ellis from http://www.automax-wales.com/. Sion first got in touch with Jonny because he found a one owner original Allegro Equipe a few years back. He then learned of an unmolested R5 GTT via an old friend. Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show. For starters the owner of the Renault had had it since the late '80s (2nd owner) and it hadn't succumbed to any of the usual Max Power mods. Now you cannot find a good unmolested 5GTT for toffee. Hard to believe that there's less than 300 left in total on UK roads. Do Jonny and Sion manage to fire up the hot hatch Renault?
