ABOUT THIS CAR

Clean, low‑mileage Clio 182s are now extremely hard to find and fast appreciating. This is not one of the worn, high‑mileage examples needing thousands spent immediately – it has been maintained to a very high standard its whole life.

Priced fairly to reflect its condition, provenance and full transparency. You can buy a cheaper car elsewhere, but you will not find one with this level of history and care without spending significantly more to bring it up to this standard.

Currently has 2 of the 6months warranty left from my purchase from a very nice family run car enthusiast dealership over in Skegness.

Genuine reason for sale - as much as I love it and my 4 year old loves it too, we have another child on the way and generally cover motorway miles popping to work and back so doesn’t get the fun drives this car is so perfectly built for. Half tempted not to sell and put into storage and get it back out in 4-5 years time.

Serious enquiries only – viewings welcome by arrangement.
