Yes it belongs to James and Helen Powell.

Lovely car, probably the best standard turbo out there other than Mr Worsleys unrestored example.

If you want a perfect car with nothing to do except drive it then best buy it quick!

Here's the text of the advert which I've been sent.

Stunning condition GTA V6 Turbo for sale. Manufactured late 1986 (early type with flat bonnet), first registered in January 1987. In GTA Rouge Supergloss 075, with factory option black leather interior, must be considered one of the finest examples in Europe.

I have owned this car for nearly 10 years. It was taken of the road in October 2001 and I carried out an extensive restoration. The car was completed in September 2005. Since then it has covered just 2548 miles and has lived a pampered garaged life, making appearances on sunny dry days. In 2006 it was one of the top cars at the International French Car Show. In 2008 it was awarded best 80's car at World Series Renault, Silverstone. It also won the overall best in show. During November 2008 it was on display at the NEC Classic Car Show (on the shows main sponsor stand - Meguiar's), having been chosen as one of the sixteen best show cars in the country.

History - The car was sold new by the Old Oak Motor Group of Enfield, one of only a handful of genuine approved Renault Performance Centre’s back in the mid 80's. It has covered 85901 miles from new and has service history. It's taxed and MOT'd until September 2009.

All electrics work, original Philips Hi-Fi system with fingertip control, original plip transmitter, windows, central locking, mirrors, interior light, dashboard dimmer etc. All gauges work correctly, temp, oil, speedometer, rev counter, fuel gauge/trip computer etc.

Interior trim is first class; carpets/mats have been replaced throughout.

Most mechanical parts have been renovated or replaced using genuine Renault parts, far too many to list. No expense spared, many thousands spent on a thorough ground up restoration. Bodywork preparation and paint by leading Mercedes Benz coachwork specialist, (undertaken as a “special project” by ex-Lotus trained employees) - cost over £3300. Result is a superb glass like finish, totally blemish free in original colour.

The car drives like new; engine pulls hard and is very sweet. Sound is glorious from the Mecaparts (French Alpine Specialist) stainless exhaust system. Engine is standard and has not been tuned, or abused. As part of the restoration a new original spec turbo (supplied by turbo technics) was fitted with a 360 degree thrust bearing for improved long-term reliability.

Brakes are Rossini standard size disks running EBC green pads for extra bite.

Shocks are Koni direct replacement with adjustable rebound facility.

Original turbo alloys, stove enameled to very high standard. Fitted with correct factory size tyres, (255x45x15) rear (Yokohams) and (195x50x15) front (Toyo Proxes). Tread almost as new (on all four tyres).

Unfortunately now parting with car due to raising capital for business venture, will be sad to see it go after 10 very enjoyable years of ownership.

Currently the car is insured for £8900 (approved/agreed through Lancaster insurance) as independent true open market value. I am looking for offers over £8250 reflecting its outstanding condition. Only serious Renault Alpine enthusiasts apply please – it must go to someone who will appreciate its condition.

Also included in the sale is a new red fleece lined interior car cover, plus hard copy of mechanical and bodywork manuals/parts listing and electrics manual. Original owner’s handbook also included.

Interested in owning this amazing example? Please contact me to discuss.

It really is the best one about, AFAIK only Jim Worsley's ex Bernard Lien-Lambert car comes close but that is original though.
