Highlights
In current ownership for approximately 21 years
Cambelt major service carried out in 2023 at 43,290 miles with very little use since

MOT valid until April 2027
Well cared for by marque specialists
The Appeal
The V6-carrying Renault Clio was one of the most audacious production cars of its era - a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive homologation special born from Renault Sport's touring car programme. With its dramatically widened bodywork housing a 3.0-litre V6 where the rear seats once sat, it remains one of the most desirable and collectable hot hatches of the early 2000s - certainly one of the most high-octane and sonorous.
This 2002 example has been with its current keeper since 2005, stored predominantly indoors and SORNed over most winters. Respected marque specialists Mark Fish and SG Motorsport have maintained it regularly. The car comes with all original documentation and a dual language hardback book still in its shrinkwrap, along with service receipts accumulated over the years. Beyond a short-throw gear shift modification and grooved brake discs, this is reported to be a standard car - a well-kept, long-term-ownership example of an increasingly sought-after modern classic.image.png1.39 MB
