• Renault arguably produced the best homologation hot hatchbacks during the 1990s and aimed to continue their success with the Clio 172 introduced in 1999 and on sale in the UK from January 2000
• This example is a later Phase 2 model registered in April 2004 and finished in Iceberg Silver (code 640) with five spoke alloys and completed with RenaultSports signature bucket black leather and Alcantara seats
• The 2.0-litre F4R 16-valve engine with variable valve timing produced around 170bhp and 148lb/ft of torque. Period testing recorded 0 to 60mph in 6.6 seconds and 139mph
• Displaying just 35,208 miles, at the time of cataloguing, with our vendor for five years and just three owners prior
• Offered for sale with a recent engine service and fresh MOT valid until 14/10/2027
• Supplied with its service book showing eight stamps along with further servicing records largely from Renault dealer Lawrie’s of Halesowen
• The files suggest that this 172 has had no less than three cambelt changes in its life, all carried out due to time and not mileage of course
• Rightly praised when new for its entertaining handling and increasingly difficult to find in this condition, we welcome your interest of this loveable Renault Clio 172
