Renault 5 GT Turbo MK1, Die-Cast Car, 1:18

Alpine blue gives the 1985 Renault 5 GT Turbo MK1 a vivid finish that catches the light across its compact body. The 3-door hatchback shape makes this die-cast metal model a distinctive subject for a collection of period road cars. At 1:18 scale, the replica offers a close view of the trim that defines its silhouette. Grey bumpers and wheel-arch cladding frame the bodywork, with a thin red stripe running along the side. Silver wheels stand out beneath the arches. Black side mirrors, windshield wipers and a roof antenna add details worth examining from different angles. Through the clear glazing, the cabin invites a look across the dashboard and steering wheel to the front seats and rear seating area. Yellow fog lights lend the lower bumper a separate point of interest beneath the Renault badge and red GT Turbo lettering. The C730 BYV front plate completes the view of the nose, ready for a shelf arrangement that shows the car at a front-quarter angle.
