The car is offered by us on behalf of a client.

Very nice Hot Hatch with a prehistoric look thanks to the matching devil roll cage and real 1980s Recaro bucket seat, entirely in vintage look.

This unique car was repainted in 2002 with a 3-layer pearl effect white colour, everything is painted in the same hue. The car currently has a very neat colour. Visually sleek under the bonnet.

The current owner has had the car since 1987, therefore 33 years. Always used for events, he’s the 2nd owner.

The car’s long history is therefore known as the current owner had the car for a long time.

Technically fitted with the original 1400cc Alpine engine which features a group 2 specification since 2000, at the time entirely rebuilt, engine with 2 Weber carburettors, 4.1 exhaust manifold and matching camshaft. The engine runs very well and has a 5-speed gearbox, a daring car for classic rides, also due to its small size and sleek looks. The engine has 135 hp. The suspension is weighted with torsion suspension from the Renault 5 Alpine coupé, the front has ventilated brake discs from the R5 coupé (cup), this was the circuit version of the R5 Alpine in the 70s/80s.

The interior has the original red colour, the Recaro sports seat was reupholstered in the same colour as the rest of the interior in the late 80s. Very sought after seat in the world of Porsche, the devil roll cage was used for cup races in the 80s and is mounted in the car, the rear bench has been disassembled and missing parts will be included. The original driver’s seat and rear bench are still there.

The only small remark is minor damage on the left front wing, the side of the Recaro seat has entry wear.

This unique car can be viewed in Yde (Drenthe) and picked up after the auction.
