AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
The Renault Clio 1997 belongs to Phase III of the first generation, the most mature and safest update of this European icon. This specific version is recognized by its rounder front headlights and a grille integrated into the bonnet, being a nationally originally model, manufactured and registered in Spain since its “birth.” With barely 132,000 kilometers on the odometer, this unit represents the perfect balance between the mechanical simplicity of the nineties and the passive safety improvements introduced at the end of the Mk1 life cycle.
BODYWORK AND PAINT:
The vehicle presents an extraordinary state of preservation both in bodywork and paint. The body remains solid, with no dents or dings, and sports a shine that shows it has been kept in a garage. A differential factor is the complete absence of rust, a quality extending to the undercarriage, which is immaculate. As proof of its structural integrity, all the vehicle’s glass is factory-original.
MECHANICS:
Under the hood sits a four-cylinder petrol injection engine that stands out for low fuel consumption and agile response in the city. The philosophy of this unit is absolute reliability based on simplicity: since it does not have power steering, central locking, electric windows, or air conditioning, all elements that tend to generate expensive faults or electronic problems over the years are eliminated. It is a car with guaranteed minimal maintenance.
INTERIOR:
The cabin has been preserved with meticulous care, keeping the seat upholstery in perfect condition, with no signs of wear or loss of firmness. The dashboard is pristine, retaining all its controls and instruments with precise and correct operation. For originality purists, the car retains its factory radio, original user manuals, and the complete set of two keys.
DOCUMENTATION:
The car has Spanish documentation and its original 1997 license plate, having belonged to a single owner since its debut. This single-ownership history ensures the car has not changed hands carelessly. It currently has the ITV valid and all taxes up to date, ready to be transferred and driven without delays.
PICK-UP:
The Renault Clio is located in Burgos. Any type of visual inspection is welcome, and potential buyers are invited to perform a dynamic test if desired, so they can certify for themselves the excellent running condition and mechanical solidity of the whole.
OTHER INFORMATION:
This unit is a singular opportunity for collectors of “youngtimers” or people seeking an extremely reliable and economical vehicle. As one of the last Mk1 units produced in Spain, it combines the classic aesthetics of the original Clio with the final quality adjustments of Phase III, all backed by the traceability that only a single-owner vehicle can offer.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
