Motion Motor Sales proudly presents this fantastic example of the Renault Clio Sport 197 Cup Package — a proper hot hatch that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in genuinely good, standard and un-abused condition. Powered by the fantastic 2.0-litre naturally aspirated 197PS engine and paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox, the Clio 197 is all about driver involvement. With its sharp chassis, Cup Package suspension and 4-pot Brembo brakes, it offers an exciting and rewarding driving experience that is becoming increasingly rare in modern cars. This particular example has covered 71,230 miles and has clearly been well cared for throughout its life, boasting 9 service stamps, including a timing belt and water pump. Mileage clarification We would also like to be completely transparent regarding the mileage. The car's actual current mileage is 71,230 miles. At a previous MOT, the tester mistakenly recorded the mileage as 78,000 miles when the car was actually showing around 70,000 miles. The reason for this appears to be the design of the Renault dashboard, where the zeros have a diagonal line through them, which can make them look very similar to an 8 when reading the display. This has resulted in the mileage being incorrectly recorded on the MOT history, and is also the reason we have advertised the car at 79,000 miles to reflect the discrepancy rather than hide it. We feel it is important to be completely upfront about this, and the car's actual mileage can be seen directly on the dashboard. The car has also recently benefited from new track rod ends and a full wheel alignment/tracking, while the alloy wheels have just been freshly refurbished. New centre caps have also been purchased and are currently in the post, ready to be fitted to complete the fresh look of the wheels. Key Features & Highlights: Renault Clio Sport 197 Cup Package 2.0-litre naturally aspirated 197PS engine 6-speed manual gearbox Keyless entry 4-pot Brembo brakes Cup Package chassis 71,230 genuine indicated miles 9 service stamps Timing belt & water pump completed Recent track rod ends Recent tracking/wheel alignment Freshly refurbished alloy wheels New centre caps on the way Standard, un-abused example Increasingly rare and highly desirable For an 18-year-old car, we would class this Clio as being in stunning condition. Of course, it is not a brand-new car and it does have some small age-related imperfections, as you would expect, but overall the condition is exceptional for its age. There are plenty of cars five years old that aren't in the condition this Clio is in. These Clio 197s are becoming increasingly rare, especially standard, genuine and un-abused examples like this. As more and more disappear from the roads, good original cars are becoming harder to find, and we believe these have all the ingredients of a future classic. We can only see the desirability of genuine examples heading one way as numbers continue to fall. The combination of the naturally aspirated engine, superb chassis, Cup Package and Brembo 4-pot braking system makes this a proper driver's car and a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for an exciting, increasingly collectible hot hatch. 3 months warranty included with the sale.
