The Appeal

The Renault Clio Sport has earned a devoted following among hot hatch enthusiasts for its sharp handling, rev-happy naturally aspirated engine, and lightweight, driver-focused character. As with most hot hatches, they've become popular picks for modification and upgrade - which has in tandem resulted in factory-standard cars being particularly prized by enthusiasts.

This 2003 example has been in the same hands from new for 23 years. With 57,700 miles recorded, and an MOT valid until March 2027, it's now ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
