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 recognizable by its rounder front headlights and a grille integrated into the hood, being a model of national origin, manufactured and registered in Spain since its “birth.” With only 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’s lifecycle.

CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA:
The vehicle presents an extraordinary state of preservation both in bodywork and paint. The exterior remains solid, with no dents or dings, and shines with a gloss that shows it has been kept in a garage. A distinguishing factor is the complete absence of rust, a quality that also extends to the car’s undercarriage, which is pristine. As proof of its structural integrity, all the vehicle’s glass is factory original.

MECÁNICA:
Under the hood sits a four-cylinder gasoline-injection engine that stands out for very low consumption and nimble city acceleration. The philosophy of this unit is absolute reliability based on simplicity: by not having power steering, central locking, electric windows, or air conditioning, all elements that tend to cause costly 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 looseness. The dashboard is immaculate, retaining all its controls and switches with precise and correct operation. For original enthusiasts, the car retains its factory radio, original user manuals, and the complete set of two keys.

DOCUMENTACIÓN:
The car has Spanish documentation and its original 1997 license plate, having belonged to a single owner since its debut. This single-owner history ensures the car has not passed through careless hands. It currently has the ITV valid and all taxes up to date, being ready to be transferred and driven without delays.

RECOGIDA:
The Renault Clio is located in Burgos. Any type of visual inspection is facilitated, and a potential buyer is invited to perform a dynamic test if desired, so they can certify for themselves the excellent driving feel and the mechanical solidity of the whole.

OTRA INFORMACIÓN:
This unit is a singular opportunity for collectors of “youngtimers” or people seeking an extremely reliable and economical vehicle. Being 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.
