Description
I've had this Clio for just over a year, but with a few too many cars on the drive, it's time to let one go. It's been an absolute joy to own, but it’s just not getting used enough to justify keeping it.
It's had six previous keepers, with the previous owner to me looking after the car for 11 years. This period was well recorded on the ClioSport forums, but there's no paperwork prior to my ownership. By all accounts the car was serviced every year. Ren7oaks changed the timing belt, water pump, and aux belt in October 2024, along with an engine and gearbox service. I changed the coil packs and spark plugs in January 2025. Its next MOT is due in November 2025. Still has both keys.
This has been a very reliable Clio, only needing a new power steering pump (2017) and an alternator (2014) in recent history.
It's on 116, 915 miles currently, but this may rise as I'll use it periodically.
Spec of the car:
Speedline 2118s
BC Coilovers 8/ 8kg
Quaife diff (fitted by Northloop in 2017 with full box rebuild)
Milltek non res exhaust with swappable sports cat
OMP steering wheel
Whiteline rear anti roll bar
Corbeau Pro Series X seats in standard width
Vibra/ Ktec uprated engine mounts
Spa Design digital oil pressure/ temperature gauge
Paintwork is all original and in good condition for its age, apart from the front bumper which you can see has suffered a few scars from on-track incidents.
I have quite a few spares such as new discs all round, a selection of road and track pads, injectors, decat pipe, steering wheel, spare set of wheels etc. which I'll make available to buyers at a cut price.
This has got all the right parts to enhance performance, but nothing that will make it unreliable. It makes a great track car, and a surprisingly good van. The coilovers make it a little harsh on the road, but they're great once you get away from the potholes and are fantastic on track.
Absolute bargain in my opinion, I don't think there's more performance available for the money.
Note: I have included some photos showing small rust bubbles on the rear arches, the lack of corrosion under the fuel filler cap, and the corrosion to the rear suspension brought up at the last MOT.
