I'm not sure what state of tune it was in, but the 1.4 C type engine in the 19 of the same age (ish) only had 60 bhp. However, there was an 80 bhp 1.4 Energy in the 19 (new for that car) and I guess there may have been a more highly tuned C type too.

not sure, but a mate of mine used to borrow his mum's renault 5 when we were 17, and it was a flyer! I seem to recall it had around 80-85bhp, and was significantly quicker than every one else's car (which was an assortment of 1.1 and 1.4 metros, novas and fiestas!)
