RENAULT 5 TURBO, Darda c. 1980 Made in West Germany Blue 1:64

The Renault 5 Turbo diecast model by Darda is a compact model with a metal body and plastic chassis. Its overall length is approximately 74 mm, corresponding to an estimated scale of 1:48. The body is finished in metallic blue, complemented by yellow stripes on the bonnet, a white number 5 on the roof and red-and-white stickers on the sides. It also features wide wheel arches, substantial rear wings and characteristic Alpine stickers on the bonnet and Renault stickers on the doors. The underside bears a clear 'darda' embossing and the marking 'Made in W Germany', confirming its origin and pull-back drive mechanism. The moving feature is the Darda drive: pulling the model activates the wheel drive, releases it and sets it in motion. The wheels have large rubber tyres with white lettering, adding authenticity. The model reproduces the real Renault 5 Turbo rally version from the early 1980s; unfortunately, its used condition is reflected in paint rubs, small paint losses and signs of use on the chassis and stickers, confirming the character of a collector's example several decades old.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
