Starting from just under £5000, a Renault Sport Clio is an extremely tempting used buy. We explain what to look for -
The sporty Clio line-up got much more interesting in 2007 when the F1 Team R27 special edition was released to celebrate Renault’s 2006 Formula 1 successes. An iconic Liquid Yellow paint colour was introduced with special side decals, as well as Recaro seats and a numbered plaque by the handbrake to commemorate the limited run. It also marked the first Cup chassis on a 197 model.
The visible differences included a revised front bumper and headlights, five-split-spoke alloys and a revised rear diffuser, while the interior was given a general spruce-up and there were some tasty new options, including an integrated TomTom satnav and a panoramic sunroof.Once again, the real interest lay under the skin, with new spring and damper rates on all versions and a quicker steering rack for the Cup variants, which this time were available right from the off.
All variants make fine trackday cars, though the standard brakes can quickly fade. Otherwise they seem to stand up well to track use, though always be extra attentive to the service history. As with any car, there are good and bad examples out there, but find the right one and you’ll have a blast.‘I bought my 200 with just 1200 miles on the clock, the previous owner having not got on with it.
