Picked myself up this as a run around with fun capabilty too, not bad for £1700. Done fluids change now and it sounds feels much better, and replaced the wheel bearing that was making a noise. So much cheaper on parts than the Tiv smile

Thats one thing, im keeping it std, so many Ph1's have been lost to the track/hedge/chav's, its the first Renaultsport of that generation so want to keep it looking classic.

Looks great Al. I would have had one of these if I could have afforded the insurance.

Actually considering one of these as a daily at the moment! Will be interesting to see what the costs are like. From what I can gather, the Renaultsport Clio's are supposed to be a bit beter screwed together than the regular ones...

Looks very nice and a complete bargain! How many miles has it done and how does it drive for the mileage?

Rich smile

Its done 96k, feels very good since changing the gear/engine oils, and replacing the wheel bearing. But easy to work on. Handles well, almost as quick cross country as the Tiv I would say, just got to get used to slidy fwd understeer.

Build quality seems reasonable, again no major rattles or squeaks and the interior has worn no worse than anything else.
