    It sat in a unit in Notts for several years after the prev owner lied through his teeth to sell it, I then rescued it and MOT'd it but before mapping ended up selling it to a chap that runs a motor factors down near the south coast. This is only a few months ago.

    I bought it still in my unit in 100's of pieces having a proper fuel tank fitted, charge cooler, bodywork sorted and the list goes on but will be a nice winter project.

    Which? It would be nice but.......... The top photo is presumably when Duncan had it and though I still have that bubble my garage has no power so the silver bag as well as containing the 5 also has half a dozen 1kg packs of desiccant which depending on the temperature keeps the humidity in the 20/30's. And though I have no detailed proof that this works the brake discs come out as shiny and rust free as they went in.

    I can remeber a gt turbo that hasn't been listed. It was in the usual magazines back in the day...

    Pearl white, dimma, silver prima racing style 17in alloys 7 or 8 spoke, quad lights, multicoloured (red, blue, green, yellow) patchwork interior inc steering wheel

    Owned by an asian lad

    It was on a stand at Doncaster race course back in 1997. Anyone know the car or got anypics?

    I'm not sure what happened to the red 5, but he had a white 5 afterwards and was running 11 ish second 1/4 mile?

    The last I know the white one was being restored but this was several years ago.

    Just had a quick search and found the following.

    Thought I would bump this as I found some old photo's. I know I have more as well, but no idea where yet. Sorry about the quality, but they are photo's of old photo's.......

    Some may be famous.....some not....

    Beaulieu - French Car Day - 1997















    We camped in the new forest before going to beaulieu




    Ultimate Street Car - 1997 & 98

    Roly setting a new low 13 time I seem to recall.........using a welded diff was the story going round??









    Below was 1998 for sure



    Brands Hatch - Super Coupe Cup - Spring 1998 I think & wasn't a great turnout.....

    Anyone know of the cup cars here?
















    I had load of pics of the cup cars when I went round the pits, but cant find them....


    Couple more, only famous to me as it was my first 5 in 1990








    If I find anymore I will post them up, but these ones were in a random place, so don't hold your breath.

    Re: where hav all the famous 5s gone ???

    Good pics . Was looking at one of the Beaulieu pics and noticed the Talbot Matra Rachos in the back ground. Brings back memories of being dragged round the local car dealers with my old man as he wanted one back in the day. I am pleased to say he did however resist as it must surely be one of the ugliest cars ever made.
