Renault Clio Submodels
The Renault Clio debuted in 1990, but it's the high-performance variants that attract collectors. The Clio Williams, a homologation special built from 1993-1995, set the stage with its brilliant chassis and 2.0-liter 16V engine. Later Renault Sport (RS) models, like the 172, 182, and 197, continued this legacy of lightweight, agile hot hatches that offered an unfiltered driving experience.
The ultimate collector's Clio is the Clio V6 Renault Sport. Built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing, this radical machine ditched its rear seats for a mid-mounted 3.0-liter V6 engine, converting the car to rear-wheel drive. It's a unique and demanding car that stands apart from every other hot hatch. Its rarity and wild engineering make it the undisputed hero of the Clio lineup.
The market for collectible Clios is strong, with an average price skewed by the top-tier models. While standard Clios are simply used cars, the V6 regularly trades for six figures. Well-kept examples of the Clio Williams and RS models are also appreciating, as enthusiasts seek out the analog driving feel of '90s and early '00s performance cars.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust in the sills, rear arches, and boot floor, especially on first-generation cars.
- A full service history is critical. The cambelt service on RS and V6 models is expensive and must be done on schedule, typically every 5 years or 72,000 miles.
- Test all electronics. French cars of this era can have frustrating electrical gremlins affecting gauges, windows, and central locking.
- Listen for knocks from the suspension on a test drive. Worn bushings and top mounts are common and will spoil the car's sharp handling.
- On V6 models, engine-out services are costly. Scrutinize records and be aware that Phase 1 cars have more challenging on-the-limit handling than the revised Phase 2.
