1985 RENAULT FUEGO TURBO

1565cc. This red Renault Fuego is one of only 5 surviving examples of the coveted 132bhp Turbo model still on the road in the UK. Its MoT is valid until 29th April next year, and it has been with its present keeper since 2018. It was first registered on 1st August 1985, and the odometer reads 118,166 miles.

The car comes with a significant collection of receipts going back to the 1980s, and two typed sheets detailing all the work done from August 1985 through to November 2003 (at 109,405 miles). History highlights include £1700 worth of restorative work in 1997 and a replacement turbo the same year. The vendor initially spent about £1300 on recommissioning work by specialist Renault Reborn in 2018, and £600 on servicing and recommissioning in 2023.

Documentation accompanying the Fuego includes the V5C in the vendor's name, three period sales brochures, a few copies of the Renault Owners' Club magazine, old tax discs, Blaupunkt radio instructions, and some photos. The car also comes with a spare set of keys.
