1991 RENAULT CLIO MK1 CUP RACE CAR inc 1.8 16v Donor (TWO CARS) For Sale

I am looking to sell both cars together with everything required to rebuild the race car to its original state....

1991 Renault Clio 1. 8 16v - CUP RACE CAR
1995 Renault Clio 1. 8 16v - Donor Road Car

The Race Car....

I’ve owned this car for 10yrs now, it has been an on and off project as and when time has allowed with a big spur over 2020 during covid but unfortunately I have made the very difficult decision to sell the car along with a donor 1. 8 16v and an extensive list of spares to complete the restoration.

This car competed during in the 90’s Elf Oils Renault Clio UK CUP, it was owned and driven by Bill Marks as one of the three cars run by Mark Fish Motorsport under car No. 14. The car was originally in 449 Blue during 1991 season but later became the Pink shade it still wears today with the other two Mark Fish cars later following suit. After the UK Clio CUP finished in 1995 my car was sold to a Ron Field who competed in the Super Coupe Cup, the car was then later owned by private owners competing in the odd event and track days.

There are only two Mark Fish cars remaining now, my car and one remaining in a private collection, the third car was written off during the 1995 season at Snetterton.

During the tail end of 2020 I managed to find an extremely experienced and very well recommended classic car restoration business local to me, over the course of two months along with a few bits and bobs I had the following carried out….

• Mounted to a jig and all measurements checked to ensure the shell was straight and true
• 2 x New Sills from Carz2 and fabricated to fit the 16v body
• 2 x Genuine Renault Front Jacking Points
• Steering Column Mounting Bracket Repaired and Reinforced

The sills and jacking points were carried out due to damage from years of the car being jacked up, this car has never been used on the road so does not suffer from any rust.

The car is now ready for a bodyshop to sort any dents/ scrapes and paint the car, the inside has already been sanded down and prepared for paint.

So, what is included in the sale?

The shell as it currently sits has the following fitted….

• Windscreen
• Ph1 Bonnet (bonnet pin holes all done)
• OS & NS Doors
• OS & NS Wings
• Front & Rear Bumpers
• CUP/ Williams Front Subframe (Seam Welded & Strengthened)
• CUP Rear Beam with Hard Brake Lines & Braided Lines still fitted
• Ph2 1. 8 16v Alloys (Tyres do de-flate)
• OS & NS Headlamps inc Hockey Sticks
• Original Manual Steering Rack

I have the following original parts/ spares to go with the car, there will be other bits and bobs that belong to the car that will also be included but these are the main bits….

• Original Fuel Tank inc a fibreglass protection cover
• Original Main Brake Lines inc load valve
• Original Scuttle inc Cut Offs for Electric & Extinguisher

The Road Donor Clio 1. 8 16v....

I have had this car about 10yrs now, however the car has sat untouched in the warehouse at my work since then, I have now brought the car home ready to sell.

I did get the car running before I purchased it but since then I have not run the car as I’m unaware when the cambelt was carried out. On buying the car the carpet was soaked from the sunroof leaking so I removed the seats, carpet and binned the underlay/ sound deadening.

Missing from the car.

Front & Rear Seats
Passenger Door Card
Underlay/ Sound Deadening
Carpet

Brief details on the car….

Registered 20/ 06/ 1995
7 Former Keepers
141, 092miles
Magnex Stainless Steel Exhaust
Clio Williams Front Subframe
CUP Racer Rear Beam - as per a previous owner
Poly Dogbone Mount

The car does have a few light modifications (suspension, brakes) but I think it’s fair to say these would need replacing due to the time it’s been stood. The OSF wheel bearing has collapsed so it can make moving the car around a little more difficult.

Any serious enquires then please do get in touch, I am based in Warrington, Cheshire.

I can help with delivery of both cars and parts.
