I very rarely see them on the roads now.
Had one back in the late 90's and it was a great car.
Hot start problem was cured with an extra fan and and a thermo switch on the turbo heat shield.

Happy days smile

Saw one near the UB Pub in Chelmsford couple weeks ago & thought at the time first time i'd seen one for ages. Looked good - blue w/ bodycoloured wheels.

Sold mine around a year ago now. Think it went down Dover way. Absolutley loved it! Handled like on rails and was so aggressive when on boost. Still think of it now really.

At one point just in my town (Hockley) there must have been about 5-6 5's, now they've all gone except a mates one down the road from me; a pearl white phase 1 model.

My old 5:

Have you not tried the RTOC owners club? Probably best place to buy. Usually most on there are well looked after.....
