Renault, CLIO, Track car

Description

I’m selling my much-loved Renault Clio Sport 197, owned for the past 8 years.
This car has been converted for track use and delivers an incredible driving experience. It currently has no MOT and is declared off the road (SORN). The car is registered as X18 SRG but will go back on its original registration upon sale.

The car has been fantastic to own and its been done piece by piece with brilliant parts. I just dont have the time to commit to doing track days and looking after it like it should. Plus not having my own trailer doesn't help. So i hope someone can see the potential in this great little track car that will upset alot of more expensive cars on track.
