Prior understanding of the “Clio” model should be thrown out of the window, as this rear-wheel-drive mid-engined beast is no ordinary hatchback. The Renault Clio V6 is a truly exciting vehicle, produced purely with enthusiasts in mind, with attention paid to ensure a one-of-a-kind driving experience. 

Designed by Renault and built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing, these Phase 1 models are often regarded as the purest examples of the bonkers hatchback. 

With only around 1500 Phase 1 vehicles produced, low mileage and original examples such as this seldom pop up on the market, making this quite a rare opportunity. 

If you’re looking for a stunning, original example of Renault and TWR’s wicked brainchild, this low mileage V6 is the one for you.

With just one former keeper, this Clio V6 is a rather stand out example, benefitting from a great deal of love and care over the years. 

The current keeper informs us that the original owner had the vehicle ceramic coated from new, and has cared for the vehicle with no expense spared. This care is of course evident today and has been continued by the current keeper, who acquired the vehicle in 2020 after endless dreams of owning one.

Throughout their time with the little Renault, the car has been a rather dependable weekend toy, venturing out in dry weather and being treasured along the way. In fact, it is only due to moving on to a new project that it is reluctantly being moved on, where it will hopefully be enjoyed once more.

It should be noted that the private registration shown today is not included with the sale of the vehicle, yet is available as a separate purchase if desired. 

Otherwise, the vehicle will be sold with its original registration of LM02 YNX.

A peek inside the cabin will reveal a rather purpose-built interior, complete with a sleek set of Renault Sport leather & Alcantara bucket seats. 

In keeping with the vehicle’s low mileage, the figure-hugging seats show only minor signs of bolster wear, hardly detrimental to their function or form. 

The rest of the interior seemingly follows suit, showing clean carpeting, headlining, and trim components. Under close inspection, you will notice minor defects in the silver finish to plastic components such as the door control surrounds, as is seemingly a rather common occurrence. 

Although hardly a lavish cabin packed with needless luxury features, all switches, controls, and instruments are in full working order and show minimal wear to contact surfaces. 

As the vehicle’s exterior is said to have been ceramic coated from new and well cared for over the years, the silver paintwork presents itself beautifully. 

A walk around the car reveals high gloss levels and minimal defects, other than a very small amount of minor front-end stone chips, and a tiny run in the factory paint, just below the bonnet badge. 

Otherwise, the paintwork leaves very little to be further desired, and will no doubt continue to shine for quite some time. 

The vehicle sits on the original set of 17-inch alloys, which have never been refurbished. As a keen advocate for taking good care of original components, the current keeper ensures the wheels are properly cleaned and detailed throughout. 

Reassuringly, all of the glass on the car is original, with the factory etching all present and correct. The same applies to the light clusters, particularly the front ones, which are notorious for fading.

As a result, the wheels show only the absolute most minimal of marks and look superb against the paintwork. As an added bonus, there is plenty of tyre tread for the lucky new owner to enjoy on the open road. 

The Clio V6 really is an example of a dying breed in today’s market, with manufacturers being as hesitant as ever to cook up something as crazy as a mid-engined V6 hatchback. 

Naturally, this little pocket rocket provides a driving experience near unmatched by its rivals, blessing the driver with plenty of power, balanced handling, and a grin-inducing soundtrack from behind you. 

Buyers will be pleased to know that this particular example fires up and performs without fault, no doubt benefitting from years of care and servicing. 

As reflected in the included paperwork, the vehicle has been given everything as required over the years, including the all-important cambelt and water pump in 2020. 

With no known mechanical or electrical issues to note, this feisty Renault is more than ready to hit the roads.

This Renault Clio V6 presents the rare opportunity to obtain a truly fantastic vehicle, that benefits from years of care, regular servicing, and crucial maintenance. 

The vehicle also boasts just one former keeper, and shows just shy of 35k miles on the clock. 

With clean examples of these hot hatches becoming few and far between, this is an opportunity you simply can’t miss.
