Baby Alpine joins the Fleet

Renault 5 Gordini Turbo / 5 Alpine Turbo, finally managed to get this ready to use. Still needs a few bits of snagging and the boost/jetting set up but have the outside looking how I want it now :0)

Looks great get it to croix

Looking good

Looks spot on!

If the car holds up well over the summer I may take it to Croix. Depends whether I make a long weekend of it like I have in recent years in which case the girlfriend will come and a less extreme car i.e a GTA

Tony looks great quick question what seats have you got in there. They look colourful

Very nice. but it looks to be sitting low on the osf.

The seats are Sparco Sprints in red Miles, would suit your anorexic frame perfectly :0), my wider hips are a tight fit :0). Its not low on one side Andy the drive is heavily cambered but it doesn't really show in the pics . I'll post up some pics of the interior once I finish off a few bits. Stuck with red as the original interior was red.

This could be an excellent sprint car
Local event on May 3rd.

You're a tall chap Tony. Any reason the drivers seat is set that much higher than the passenger? Plenty of headroom in a 5 compared with a GTA I guess.

Hi Darren passenger seat isn't bolted in in pics, I need to lower the drivers seat too as I can't get a helmet on in it as it stands. Might do some sprints in it once its sorted, don't think they are the best handling device in the world though :0)

I did wonder, you don't want your noggin leaving a dent in the roofline.

Looking good though.
