RTOC CAR RAFFLE - WIN A Phase 1 Renault 5 GT Turbo

[Miller]

Fancy Owning a Classic?!

We’ve all, at some time or other, thought about what it would be like owning a Classic OE Renault Turbo and experiencing that ‘as it was meant to be’ drive.

Well, RTOC are proud to announce, we are giving one lucky member the chance to win a fine example of a Renault 5 GT Turbo! Thats right, for the first time since the club was formed we are giving you the chance to own a CAR!!!! A 1986 Phase 1 Renault 5 GT Turbo that belonged to Mike Amato click to see advert. The car is known within the club and is a fantastic example of how the little pocket rocket should be. With under 53,000 miles on the clock this little beauty is as close to the real deal as you’ll find!

RTOC Raffle

The car is being raffled by the Renault Turbo Owners Club and over the coming months the members of RTOC can purchase the tickets through the club shop or at the Frog Of Pod day on July 1st, 2011 where the car will be on display. The winner will be drawn on Saturday 20th August at Renault World Series at Silverstone by none other than the Renault Rally Genius himself, Jean Ragnotti!! The car has just been MOT'd for 12 months, has 6 months Road Tax and will come with a full tank of petrol.

Tickets go on sale at Frog Of The Pod.

16. As the car is 25 year old you must realise that you are not winning a new car and will have problems associated with a car of this age. The club is aware of the following faults and any prospective owner must know this. These were the only parts pointed out at the MOT that will need repairing before it's next MOT.

• Passenger sill will need replacing, comes with a new outer and inner sill for it to be repaired..... Drivers side inner and outer were changed last year so you do not need to worry about that one.
• Passenger side sill to chassi leg brace.

Everything else looked good at the mot with regards to structural bodywork.

17. The following parts have been noticed by myself (Miller) and would get sorted over the winter time when you replace the sill.

• Small rust bubble on front of bonnet.
• Surface rust at a few parts of the windscreen surround.
• Drivers door needs a new pin

18. The Committee have been as honest as possible with the condition of the car and we feel who ever is lucky enough to win the car will spend the money they saved on the purchase cost and use that money to make a very good car an excellent car again.

19. The car does not come with ANY warranty or guarantees from RTOC

20. By purchasing your ticket(s) you are agreeing to the above terms & conditions




















Good Luck

[Lomo]

The very best of luck everyone

[J8TRO]

Brilliant
What a great idea.

[Bruce - BHPerformance]

Paying members only so that rules me out then.

[Miller]

Paying members only so that rules me out then.

That statement is towards the registered members on the site that do not contributed to the club coffers. Any honnary member is certainly entitled to buy a ticket, they do not pay membership because the prevous time they have given to the club.

[gtmatt]

cracking good luck everyone

[DaveMayGTT]

11. The car's V5 will only be signed over to a fully paid RTOC Member on the day of the raffle

Does that mean if your not a world series theres no need to enter?

Great idea, hope that the minimum number gets met easily

[Lomo]

Not at all, in certain circumstances the car will be kept until the winner can pick it up and then it will be signed over. We wont be handing the car over to a relative etc. The winner will be the next name on the V5.

Brill idea

[dave_gtt]

I'm from Ireland, and probably won't be there on the day of the draw, is there any reason that i could not enter/win.

[James_Surridge G1 5 GTT]

Brill idea

[Nayls]

Maybe it's just me but i think it should be 1 ticket per member,not a maximum of 5,
Then everyone has exactly the same chance reguardless of how deep your pockets are.

i feel like i'd need to buy the full 5 tickets to give myself a fair chance,for this reason alone i wont be buying a ticket.

Good luck to those that do though

[D4WNO]

No this is fine so long as you can collect the car within the alloted timeframe. You can mutually agree the meeting place/time in advance with Miller if it's easier for you

This is how all raffles work.

[car.crash]

It's a good idea but the fact I have to keep it makes it's another expense for something I don't need and would only end up selling it as I have a 5 already.

[Lomo]

This is how all raffles work.

Are you sure Trev? I've entered countless of raffles where I've bought 5+ tickets...

[Nayls]

This is how all raffles work.

I know,and with most raffles you can buy as many tickets as you like,but then they are normally 50p or a pound??

Im just saying if i was to enter i would like as good an oppurtunity as everyone else so would like the full amount,but i cant justify risking £100 to do that,so for that reason i wont bother entering at all.

im not complaining just voicing my opinion on the matter,other's may agree? other's will just take the plunge? that's up to them

[Trevhib]

The limit is odd but that wasn't the issue Nayls was citing. It was that you could buy more than one ticket. All I was saying was that in all the raffles I'd seen it was always possible to buy more than one ticket.

I agree in that I can't see a point to limiting the number of tickets any one person can buy. That's a different issue that were it altered, would compound Nayls' issue rather than alleviate it.

[clee]

Well I think there should only be 1 ticket and it should cost £2500
Jeez ! Why does everything have to be dissected ?
The rules are the rules so buy one ,five or none

[Lomo]

If I've learnt anything in business its the fact we will never please everyone all of the time and thats life and its each to their own For those that do choose to enter the very best of luck



In it to win it

[Lomo]

Just to add, the car will be present at Santa Pod this Friday when tickets go on sale so come have a look

[RoboEK]

WOW this is my old car I owned it around 2005 and I can honestly say it is the best 5 I have ever had/driven the only reason I sold it was because I was clocking up the miles it was @ arround 34,000, it did have braided brake hoses, and uprated brakes back then (dont know if it still dose) i will definatly be entering more than once!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

[Nayls]

Well I think there should only be 1 ticket and it should cost £2500

Now now!

Im not complaining,and you have the rules and that's fair enough.

Im just sharing my thought's on the matter,IF it was to be the case in a matter of time that the question was asked "why have'nt we sold enough tickets??" then my reason for not buying is as stated

it seems that nobody else thinks like me so you're ok anyway

Good luck to those that enter!

My money's on jesus winning!

[xenon]

superb idea!!

being French, can I take part in it ?

[D4WNO]

superb idea!!

being French, can I take part in it ?

Of course, as long as you can collect within the timeframe and transfer it back to France yourself etc

[Miller]

All Rtoc members that are full paid members can enter the raffle, even if you do not stay in mainland Britain If someone from overseas wins the car they will have to travel over here to collect it.

Good luck

[xenon]

thank you for your answer!!

highly the sale ticket.

[Moggy]

Sorted! £100 at the ready, lady luck on my side and a dimma body kit ready for fittings but I'll fit the rear wings on the front and front on the back, some 19" alloys and a stereo from the top shelf of Halfords!

give me a few weeks once I win and I'll have it on ebay painted candy pink

Its not in your blood to do that mate!

[Moggy]

maybe its about time i did! might get noticed a bit more

Chris

Well in that case I may have to buy more than one as its been ages since I owned a GTT and never a std one!

Would certainly give me a good excuse to attend more events if I had a car to show as Maxi Megane is still a work in progress.

[Tony Walker]

Im trying to figure out a way to sign my wife up to rtoc to buy more without here knowing i think her getting a membership card through the post might raise some suspicion
Again.... fantasticly brilliant idea, next purchase has to be a turbo 2 tho i'd buy a £50 ticket for one

[frano81]

so how do we buy the tickets?

[Lomo]

[car.crash]

If I win is the car mine to do as I please with?

[Adey aka Ewok]

only 2 tickets sold?

[clee]

No, more that that .Only just put it in the shop an hour ago
We sold a few at POD ,'bout 10 when I left at lunchtime .I won't know how many more until Miller gets here to drop the prize off .I will then amend the stock .
We need to sell 125 to make the draw possible and WSR is the target date .

[clee]

If I win is the car mine to do as I please with?

Of course it is .
There are certain things the club, it's members also ,would like to see happen and some they would hate ......
I wouldn't want to be the one that broke it or sold on for big bucks

[Lomo]

If I win is the car mine to do as I please with?

Its in the terms & conditions dude...

[Duncan Grier]

That car would look great in the garage......next to the vag Tsi lump

Std oe v's track beast my only 2 options........if I win of course 150ish bhp v's 375ish bhp mmmnnnnnnnn

Maybe its time for vag 4wd GT turbo

Or leave it the hell along and enjoy

[c7borg]

when I went to buy a ticket it said there was a £2.50 delivery charge is that correct?

[clee]

Yes

[c7borg]

is that for the delivery of the car or the ticket .. 1st class stamps must have gone through the roof, or does it come with the handbook to peruse?

[clee]

I won my bet

Admin ...Paypal fees ..envelope ..stamps ....ticket production ...........Mike put £80 worth of fuel in it to get it down south ,don't think he asked for that back

[clee]

**** !! forgot about storage fees

[c7borg]

I won my bet

Admin ...Paypal fees ..envelope ..stamps ....ticket production ...........Mike put £80 worth of fuel in it to get it down south ,don't think he asked for that back

I don't get it.. why isn't the ticket £22.50 then?

[clee]

Because it isn't ,it's £20 which was calculated relative to selling 125 to break even .The postal charges help to cover admin costs and on certain items this leaves us with a bit left over .If you buy 5 tickets the PP fees increase etc but you are not charged £10 extra for buying 4 more .
The shop is a service for members ,we lose on it more than we make .It's not feckin Ebay and it's not a business .I only wish it was m,then we could do far more with it to the benefit of all .
We charge a flat rate postage in the shop so if you feel you are being ripped off then buy two sets of headbolts and the club will lose on the postage ...........................

[clee]

Could members please let me know their username when buying tickets .This will make it easier for me to check membership status .
The raffle is only open to members .If any non members manage to buy one then that ticket will become void

[Lomo]

Tickets are available in the Club Shop Ladies & Gents

In it to win it people!
