Description
For sale is my 2008 Renault Clio RenaultSport 197 in White. During my ownership the car has benefited from substantial mechanical maintenance, with work carried out to address known wear items and ensure it is mechanically sound rather than simply presentable.
The car drives as it should: it starts easily, pulls cleanly through the rev range, brakes strongly, and feels tight and well sorted for its mileage. It has a comprehensive service history and, following a health check after purchase, all highlighted issues have since been addressed.
The car remains largely original, with only reversible modifications. These include KTEC coilover suspension fitted in January 2025, genuine Speedline wheels finished in white with wheel spacers, a genuine RenaultSport rear wing, yellow film on the front fog lamps, and a generic extended gear knob. A spare OEM-spec replacement gear knob is included. There are no engine modifications, remap, intake or exhaust changes.
The car is fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres all round, with plenty of tread remaining.

Much of the major and commonly required work on these cars has already been addressed, making this a good option for someone who wants to enjoy a Clio 197 without immediately budgeting for large mechanical jobs.
Condition notes: small tears in the seats, the left headlight housing can fog up, and the left front wheel would benefit from a refurb.
Note: the passenger side headlight bulb has been replaced and the last image shows the headlight after clearing up with use.
The car is priced to reflect its condition and the maintenance already completed. This will suit an enthusiast who values mechanical condition and documented maintenance over headline mileage. All maintenance work carried out is supported by invoices.
