KEY FACTS

• A renowned hot hatch, which is presented in good order, ready to enjoy on the road or track.
• Under the bonnet is the 197bhp 2.0-litre inline-four, coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox.
• It benefits from a solid service history, with the most recent maintenance around 5,000 miles ago.
• During the current ownership, it has only been run on premium grade unleaded fuel.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Compared to its predecessors, the Clio 200 has a revised exhaust, ECU and valve timings, and it also benefited from shorter gearing.
• On the outside, it featured a new front splitter, a front bumper insert and larger exhaust pipes.
• This example features the desirable Cup chassis, with Brembo brakes and 17-inch wheels.
• Factory equipment includes satellite navigation, cruise control and air conditioning.
• One backbox has been removed from the exhaust for a more vocal sound, and it also features a set of Heko wind deflectors.
• Its original owner’s manuals will be included, along with a raft of maintenance invoices.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• Its original paintwork is in good condition, presenting with a few scratches on the offside of the front bumper, along with some light stone chips and some surface marks on the front Renault badging.
• A few scuffs can be seen on the alloy wheels, and a small stone chip has been repaired on the windscreen. The wheels are shod in a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, which have a good level of tread remaining.
• Inside, the glovebox lid is beginning to drop on the right-hand side, though it still closes as it should.
• The black leather seats have a few light creases and surface marks, but there is no unexpected wear given the age and mileage.
