AI Listing Summary

This is a rare, low-mileage Renault Clio 172 Exclusive, number 87 of 172 made for the UK market. It boasts a remarkable service history, collector-quality condition, and notable previous ownership by the late Sir David Atkinson.

Condition

The car is described as being in remarkable, unspoilt order throughout with a genuine mileage of less than 16,300 from new. The exterior has some very minor imperfections to paintwork in the form of a few light swirls and scratches commensurate with the car’s age and a small ‘trolley mark’ on the passenger side door. The underside appears excellent with no evidence of structural corrosion.
