This is a total blast from the past! I had a Renault 5 years ago and always lusted after the Monaco edition! This is a fully loaded luxury Limo in a little car! Think Aston Martin Cygnet or Wood & Pickett Mini, the idea of a really luxurious small car was not new in 1987 but there wasnt much else in the market to compete. This is a 1989 Renault 5 Monaco, Automatic, UK RHD, finished in Satin Beige with Full Cream Leather interior, she is in a lovely condition having only covered 51k Miles from new.
The Renault 5 became the best-selling car in France from 1972 to 1986, with a total production exceeding 5.5 m over a 14-year period making it France's most popular car. 1996 was the last year of manufacture. It was styled by Michel Boué, who designed the car in his spare time outside of his normal duties. When Renault executives learned of Boué's work, they were so impressed by his concept they immediately authorized a formal development programme. Unfortunately Boué died of cancer in 1971 just months before the car was launched.
Our car was supplied new by Reg Vardy Renault in Sunderland on the 29th September 1989 and only had 5 owners from new, the low mileage of 51k is nice and the car has its original books and service stamps. The car had been in storage for a few years and was totally recommissioned less than 1000 miles ago and will come with a new MOT and ready for its next owner! The Automatic gearbox is great in this and its really like driving a small luxury limousine! Please be quick as there are not many left in this condition with this mileage!
