The seller offers for sale a 2007 Renault Clio Sport 197, a focused French hot hatch powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox. This Clio was purchased by the current owner from a collector, and the seller is only the second private keeper. According to the description, the bodywork and paint are in outstanding order, with no visible rust and no history of accident damage. The interior is likewise said to be in good condition, with trim and upholstery presenting neatly and showing the careful life the car has led. Mechanically, the seller describes the car as on point: the engine starts without hesitation, does not emit blue or white smoke when warm and produces no unusual noises. The manual transmission shifts cleanly without unwanted sounds. The vehicle holds a current technical inspection.
The Renault Sport Clio RS has become one of the reference points among compact hot hatches. Launched in the mid-2000s, the Sport 197 generation combined a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine with a rev-hungry character and a precise 6-speed manual gearbox. Its chassis tuning, developed by Renault Sport, delivers responsive steering and composed handling that encourage enthusiastic driving on twisting roads while still allowing relaxed everyday use. Supportive seats, purposeful styling details and subtle aerodynamic add-ons underline the performance focus without sacrificing practicality. For many enthusiasts, the Clio RS strikes an appealing balance between performance and usability, offering a rewarding driving experience at realistic speeds. As interest in analogue, naturally aspirated hot hatches continues to grow, well-kept examples like this RS3 are attracting increasing attention from drivers and collectors who appreciate their character and driver involvement.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.

Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
