Exterior

Finished in metallic Sports Blue with its signature gold wheels, this early Clio Williams presents beautifully. A recent machine polish and ceramic coating have brought out an excellent depth and shine to the paintwork, with straight panels and only one or two very minor stone chips visible around the front. The headlights are clear, while the lower rubber spoiler, grille and protective bumper trims remain in very good condition. The rear light lenses also present well, and the car retains its correct rear wiper arm and Lookers Renault Centre number plates. 

  

All four alloy wheels are immaculate, with neatly finished gold centres and polished outer lips. They wear matching Yokohama tyres with plenty of tread. Minor points to note comprise a crack in the driver’s side front fog light, a very light peppering of windscreen chips, slight fading to the scuttle trim below the windscreen and some bubbling affecting the window seal trims around both doors. These small details aside, the bodywork presents extremely well. 


Interior

The interior is a particular highlight. The distinctive Williams sports seats remain in excellent condition, including the substantial driver’s seat bolsters, while the blue carpets have been carefully protected by what appear to be the original mats, with an additional set placed over them. The steering wheel is exceptionally well preserved, retaining its textured finish with no noticeable wear. The dashboard presents equally well and carries the numbered brass Williams plaque, identifying this example as No. 0133. An apparently original Philips cassette player remains fitted behind its opening cover. The headlining, rear seats and blue seatbelts are all in lovely condition. The rear parcel shelf remains uncut, with both lifting cords intact. In the boot, an additional protective mat covers exceptionally clean carpeting. 

  

Signs of use are limited to slight fading around the electric window switches, a small indentation in the driver’s door armrest, light wear to the gear-knob markings and minimal marks to the plastic sill trims. Overall, this is a wonderfully preserved cabin with much of its original character intact.


ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The 2-litre 16-valve engine is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Under the bonnet, the engine bay is smart and presentable, with well-kept blue paintwork and Renault labels retained on the underside of the bonnet. The riveted VIN plate and stamped chassis number remain visible in their respective locations. There is some flaking to the silver finish on the rocker cover and a small amount of surface corrosion on a few fasteners, but the overall presentation is very pleasing.

The December 2011 entry records an interim service with spark plugs, followed by a full service in November 2012. The car subsequently spent an extended period in storage. Since returning to use, it is understood to have received a service and light recommissioning work, with details awaiting confirmation from the current owner.
