Description
Renault Clio 172 Cup | 66k Miles | Full Service History | Totally Original | Exceptional Example | HPI Clear
A rare opportunity to own a genuinely clean and original Renault Clio 172 Cup, becoming increasingly hard to find in this condition and mileage.
This is a very well-preserved example with just 66, 000 miles from new, backed by a full service history and presented in completely standard, unmodified condition — exactly how enthusiasts want them.
The car is in excellent condition with brand new matching Contisport Contact 3 tyres all around. The bodywork is very clean with no rust issues, which is a known weak point on these. The interior is also in great shape with minimal wear, reflecting how well the car has been looked after.
Well maintained with a comprehensive service history. Any maintenance carried out has been done properly and documented. Has had all the works done to it (Cambelt, Dephaser, Springs, Shocks) all by renault specialist.
Welcome to offersI bought this car because I wanted a clean, original example of a Clio 172 Cup — something that hasn’t been modified or abused, which is becoming increasingly rare. What stands out most about this car is how well it has been preserved; it feels tight, responsive and exactly how these cars were meant to drive.
The 172 Cup is often regarded as one of the best driver’s cars of its era — lightweight, simple and incredibly engaging. This example really shows why, with sharp handling, a strong naturally aspirated engine and a raw driving feel that’s hard to find in modern cars.
My favourite thing about it is how honest and involving it is to drive — it always puts a smile on your face, whether it’s a short run or a longer drive. It’s a car you can enjoy as-is or keep as a future classic, and good, original examples like this are only getting harder to find.
