Footnotes

Developed from its successful A310 coupe by Renault's competition arm, Alpine, the GTA was produced between 1985 and 1993. Later versions of the A310 had used Renault's 2.7-litre overhead-cam V6 engine, an enlarged (to 2,849cc) version of which was chosen for its successor and mounted behind the rear axle as before. Alpine's long-established backbone chassis was likewise retained for the GTA, which featured pretty glassfibre coupé bodywork bonded to the frame in a form of semi-monocoque construction. With 160bhp on tap, the original GTA was no slouch, but the installation of the 2.5-litre, 200bhp turbo unit elevated it to supercar status, 150mph and 0-60 in under seven seconds being typical performance figures. Alpine's long and successful competition experience ensured that the suspension was capable of coping with the increased performance.

This rare right-hand drive GTA Turbo currently displays a total of 64,889 miles on the odometer and is said to have been running when placed in dry storage ten years ago. Re-commissioning will be required before it returns to the road and thus this Lot is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documentation consists of an extensive run of MoTs prior to storage confirming the mileage; a 1995 sales invoice for £8,995; and several invoices showing regular maintenance in the late 1990s/early 2000s, including fitting Wilwood front and rear brake kits in 1997.
