Wanted R5, not Turbo

[Barnster]

Hello all,

Hopefully the correct place to post - the For Sale/Wanted sections seem to be specifically for R4.

Does anyone have/know of a non-turbo R5 project for sale (apart from the couple on ebay/autotrader and the over-priced classic car sites ), any vintage?

Looking for a new spring project.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you everyone for your replies (in this thread and vs PM).

Ideally looking for something that requires a fair bit of work for a spring project.

I thought I'd been offered the idela one but the opportunity was retracted before I could get to view

Keep them coming please!

Thanks

Looks good but no response from the seller.

I am going to widen my search to include (sensibly priced) turbo projects if anyone knows of any.

A sensibly priced R5 turbo project.... sensible price starts at 3000 just for an incomplete engine if an engine is still available
Complete R5 Alpine's turbo or a GTT start at a sensible 20000+
But still available if you widen the search and widen your wallet.

I expect to pay a bit more for a turbo project - just not found anything turbo or not so far apart from 1000's of miles away!

Then France is the place to be try https://www.leboncoin.fr/

Been too busy the last couple of weeks but managed to secure myself the R5TX from the Facebook link. I was in negotiations with the previous owner and got pipped at the post. Good news is that the new seller was slightly closer to me and PES is now sat in my ownership.

Slow recommissioning to get it running and electrics all sorted and then will investigate the dreaded sill ends and other minimal patches of rust.
