This Renault sport Clio 172 Cup is an exciting lightweight hot hatch, which is offered by the first and only owner, who has cherished it for more than 16 years. Under the bonnet is a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-four producing around 169bhp, which is coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows just 49,368 miles from new.
An evolution of the already impressive phase II Clio 172, the Cup model had lowered and stiffened suspension, a revised front splitter and rear spoiler, thinner windscreen glass, deletion of air-conditioning, and removal of some sound deadening material. It weighed in at just 1,021kg and had a 0-60mph time of 6.5 seconds.
This car has just one owner from new, and was first registered in July 2003. It was finished in Mondial Blue, and has the standard cloth-trimmed sport seats in the cabin. Other than anthracite powder coating to the wheels, the car remains original and unmodified.
