The Appeal
Evo loves it. Harry Metcalfe adores it. It’s the Renault Clio RenaultSport 200, one of the greatest hot hatches ever built.
The final version of its Clio generation has received gushing praise for its brilliant dynamics and engine, well-laid-out cabin and comfortable seats and its understated looks. A good example should surely be on any collector’s wish list.
This 2012 200 must be one of the lowest-mileage examples in existence. It has covered just 23,430 miles with a handful of enthusiast collectors who have maintained it regardless of the sparing use. Classically finished in hot hatch red, it is a factory-standard car in superb order that benefits from a KTR induction kit. Other than that, it’s how the factory intended.
The condition is supported by impeccable maintenance records showing a run of seven services, most recently in May 2024. This car is well known to Clio specialist KTR who undertook a cam belt, water pump and coolant change for the previous keeper.
You can assess the quality of this car for yourself in the photos. An independent MOT verifies what you can see and runs to February 2025. It deserves to be in a collection but, like us, we’re sure you’ll want to drive it first.
