The Appeal:
While the Renault Clio Mk1 is widely celebrated for its sporting derivatives, the Baccara stands apart as something altogether more refined. Conceived as a compact luxury car, the Baccara offered a level of craftsmanship and specification rarely seen in the supermini class of the early 1990s.
Featuring plush leather upholstery, wood veneer trim, generous electrical equipment and a calm, understated character, the Clio Baccara was effectively executive motoring distilled into city-car proportions.
This 1993 example represents an exceptionally rare survival. Showing just 8, 313 km from new and retaining an extraordinary level of originality, it offers collectors a unique opportunity to acquire a time-capsule example of Renault’s most luxurious Mk1 Clio.
