Renualt 5 Gordini My First Car Which I Put Through A Hedge And Rebuilt — mine was the TS model with Gordini spec,It had a race engine built by Mick Haynes Racing 1400cc which put out around 125 bhp,and was much lower than the one in the photo, twin choke with straight though exhaust,bucket seats...and it sounded NICE

Pros: handled well with suspension set up nice sound from carb

Cons: can't find them because i want another one
