Highlights

Just 39,000 miles from new backed up by history file
Fun, colourful three-door hatchback with sporty looks
Freshly MOT'd
ULEZ Compliant

The Appeal

Nostalgic, fun and easy to live with - as car addicts, quirky hot hatches always dominate our search histories and are slightly kinder on our bank accounts compared with the expensive, sportier alternatives further up the food chain.

While this little Clio isn’t hot in terms of performance, it certainly makes up in colour and character.

While not without a few imperfections, this Mk1 Phase 2 example boasts low mileage and street-cred. Whether this be a first car for a young enthusiast, a colourful addition to an aspiring collector or just a bit of fun for the summer ahead, it is bound to put a smile on a lot of faces
