Renault 5 Alpine, 1979.
Description from the seller
Renault 5 Alpine Atmosphérique – 1979
1.4 NA | 93 HP | early version | classic hot hatch of the 70s.
The offered Renault 5 Alpine Atmosphérique was built in 1979 and is an early version of the model. The car was imported to Poland in 2022. Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 1.4 engine with 93 HP, which, in the realities of the late 70s, made Alpine one of the most roadrash hot hatches of its era.
Bodywork and paint:
The paint presents well visually, appropriate for the vehicle’s age.
Local imperfections are visible, eligible for spot paint corrections.
The body does not require full restoration; no information about major collisions.
Seals, glass, exterior components and lighting are complete and in usable condition.
At the moment no critical areas requiring urgent welding have been identified; any future work would be local and preventive (to be confirmed on the lift).
Mechanical condition:
Engine after a comprehensive rebuild – runs smoothly, dynamically, and without alarming sounds.
The powerplant provides a very lively acceleration character, in line with the Alpine’s nature.
The gearbox operates correctly; gears engage smoothly.
Suspension and braking system are in very good condition – the car tracks confidently.
Slight oil seepage.
The car starts and drives without issues, even after extended parking.
Interior condition:
Interior preserved in its original character, with patina appropriate for the age of the vehicle.
Currently installed are seats from another car, improving comfort for everyday use.
Original Alpine seats are included with the car and form part of the package.
Dashboard, door panels and headliner are kept in good condition.
Electrical installation functions properly – gauges and switches work (details of equipment to be confirmed).
Documentation:
The car has Polish registration documents after import in 2022.
Possibility to attach photos of the registration certificate.
Summary
The Renault 5 Alpine Atmosphérique from 1979 is an icon of 1970s sporty motoring, offered today in a condition that allows both active driving and further cosmetic refinement according to the new owner’s preferences. A freshly rebuilt engine and very good mechanical condition make this example an attractive collectible proposition.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
