2000 Renault Clio V6 Phase 1

£ 39 000

Speedbroker are pleased to offer another fine example of an iconic modern classic: the Renault Clio V6 Phase 1. A car that perfectly captures an era of bold engineering and unapologetic design, this is an opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive hot hatches ever produced.

The Clio V6 is no ordinary hatchback. Developed by Renault Sport, it takes the familiar Clio silhouette and transforms it into a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive performance car. Powered by a 3.0-litre V6 mounted behind the driver, the car delivers a driving experience far removed from its front-wheel-drive siblings. Its wide-track stance, aggressive bodywork, and motorsport-derived layout make it one of the most unconventional and exciting road cars of its time. Produced in limited numbers, the Phase 1 cars in particular are known for their raw, unfiltered character and have become highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This particular example is especially noteworthy. Having covered just 38,000 miles from new, it began life as a Renault press car and featured on the cover of Autocar magazine at launch, among other publications. The original magazine is included with the vehicle as a unique and desirable piece of provenance. The car presents in impeccable condition and has clearly benefited from long-term, careful ownership until very recently. It is accompanied by a comprehensive history file, including original manuals and service books.

Mechanically, the car has been maintained to a high standard. Recent works include new belts and pulleys, a new air conditioning pump, and a full set of coilovers. The underside has been inspected and cleaned, and the car now sits on a brand new set of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, ensuring it drives as well as it presents.

The Renault Clio V6 remains one of the most daring and characterful performance cars of the modern era. Its dramatic styling, limited production numbers, and unique engineering set it apart from anything else on the road. As appreciation grows for analogue, driver-focused machines with genuine personality, examples like this (well preserved, low mileage, and with significant provenance) are becoming increasingly desirable. This is not just a car, but a statement piece and a true modern classic.
