Renault love is deep
You never forget your first love. That is why we look back on their first car together with unknown Dutch people. This week Geert-Jan Koppes tells about his first Renault 5, a GTL.
Buying a car that was discouraged by the previous owner because of the poor condition. Juvenile brash or a healthy dose of courage?
“That is a nice story. In 1986 I was finished with high school and I decided to study at the HTS Autotechniek in Apeldoorn. I lived with my parents in Millingen aan de Rijn, about 65 kilometers away, so I was set for a choice: going to room or buy a car and commute. I opted for the second option or went looking for a little one, preferably one of them. Renault 5 GTL for sale at the local village garage. He would be bad and bothered by the rust devil.
You were a young guest with a first car. Did you keep it a bit original?
“No, of course not! I put those nice rims under it myself and a spoiler on the tailgate could not be missing either. I had replaced the dashboard by a copy from an alpine and that red piping over the side was also not standard. I painted the headlights yellow and on the Voorbumper I have a big stics of the example of the example in the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the example of the for example. Lancer Turbo from that time and I also had to have that in mirror image so that people could read it from their rearview mirror. ”
Did it turn out to be a bit reliable?
“The stories from that time about French cars and its so -called unreliability sent my Renault to the Fairytale Forest. In six years I only came to stand still twice. Once again due to bad contact points with which I was too late to replace and once through a too deep puddle in the way, making the bobine soaked again. After that again. After that praise again. Bobine itself moved to a higher place because it is originally mounted very low in the 5. In six years I traveled 188,000 kilometers in 1992 and I brought it to demolition. ”
Old love does not rust, because you now have a Renault 5 again?
“True! The love for Renault has never disappeared and now I have a fairly rare R5 TX Automatic from 1983 for the hobby with only 53,000 demonstrable kilometers. It has been delivered in limited edition for only a year and a half. The TX has power steering, electric windows, amil rims, bronze tinted and even tinted papa station and are even a fuego barture and his even fuego barture and are even fuego-standage.
