RE: The best used Renault Sport cars to buy in 2021

[DaveL485]

Good list, great cars. The Renault back catalogue is so strong it's hard to cherry pick a small list, you always feel like something is left out.

Two of my favourites below that live in my garage, along with a R9 Turbo and an RS Megane 250 lux. I am unashamedly a performance Renault junkie

I certainly don't care. A great car is a great car, never mind the badge.

Me neither, and I say that as a frothy-mouthed A110 owner. They're made in the Dieppe plant after all.

Very nice cars.

And you can't just gloss over the yellow NSX, chilling in the back ground..

Is that your's as well?

The red Sport Spider in the ad referenced in the article looks absolutely stunning... I love that its features include a 'marine grade radio' and 'water proof seats'.

It was overshadowed by the Elise in the UK press when it was launched (and heavier...) but I still remember the reviews being very favourable.

This has to be the lowest mileage Clio 182 in the country @ 1,687 miles....yes, that's correct.
Been stored over the years because the owner apparently has cars and properties all over the country. Here's the link....

Offers are invited and i wonder how much it will eventually sell for. Surely, it will be the most expensive Clio 182 sold to date. Watching with interest!

It needs to be in a more interesting colour for me, silver is a bit boring.

I would doubt that, that was their intention and no reason not to believe their explanation. It's not like it was a special limited edition or something special at time of purchase.

Then stick it on eBay with no reserve

I agree. Not an exciting colour imo also. Still though, lots of interest from potential buyers from just reading through the comments.

Few suggestions for Collecting Cars also. Will be interesting!

Is it a 1 owner from new? Or have they bought it with low miles and stuck it in the garage?

You're likely either buying to add to a collection or perhaps you're better off with an R26 with the back seats removed? A car you can afford to risk on track? Suppose it depends on how deep your pockets are of course.

I reckon a low-miles R26.R will be extremely cheap to run. Being newer and lower miles it will cost you less in maintenance than a leggy R26. And will depreciate less and even have a chance to appreciate.

Of course this assumes you have access to capital. Money has never been cheaper.

It's the same owner from new.

Aye a bet. In all honesty if it were my car it would be straight on CC and watch the fools bid it up

I thought mine was low miles at 6 years old when i bought it in 2011 with 8k on the clock.
I knew the previous owner and he had wrapped it in cotton woll and never driven it, "rear seats never sat in" job.
Within a month it was lapping the Nurburgring and has now just clocked over 135k miles.

I’d love to buy that 1600 miler and just daily it all over again.

I'm on my third phase 2 Clio now. Silver and RB 182s before the 172 Cup that I've got and intend to keep. For those interested in prices, I got it for £5k on 51,000 at the end of last year. Probably about 'par'. I've said it on Frayz's (superb) ownership thread but I enjoy driving it as much as the S2 Elise it sits aside.
