An excellent opportunity to acquire a legendary Renault Clio Mk1 1.8 16v track day project base. This is a very solid shell and chassis, showing only minor imperfections entirely expected for a classic car of this age. Originally purchased to undergo a Clio 172 engine conversion, a change in circumstances means this well-regarded project is now ready for a new owner to take it to the finish line.
The shell comes already upgraded with Clio 172 hubs, brakes, and an anti-roll bar (ARB) for vastly improved handling, alongside a precise manual steering rack. To make the conversion as straightforward as possible, a comprehensive package of critical parts is available, including a rare Phase 1 wiring loom, ECU, throttle body, and an already fitted 182 exhaust manifold
