This 1993 Renault Clio Williams 1 is an intoxicating limited-run ‘90s hot hatchback, which remains original and unmodified and indicates low mileage from new. It is powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-four engine, delivering around 148bhp and 126lb-ft of torque to the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The Williams 1 is the most desirable of the 3 Clio Williams variants being a numbered example and the original icon, with just 390 being supplied to the UK.

Number 153 has been cherished by its previous keeper for 10 years and shows just 59,000 miles on the odometer. All Phase 1 Clio Williams cars were finished in Sports Blue metallic paintwork with gold Speedline alloy wheels and a grey cloth-trimmed interior with bolstered sports seats. The specification includes blue seatbelts and carpets, electric windows, a heated rear screen with wiper, front and rear fog lights, an analogue clock, blue-faced instrument dials with three coordinating blue auxiliary readouts atop the centre console displaying the oil level, temperature, and pressure, and a Sony radio CD cassette player head unit.

Further, the car is accompanied with its original owner's manuals, the stamped service booklet, along with a collection of maintenance invoices, the V5C and two keys.

This Clio’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in August 2024 at 58,410 miles by RenTec Autocare Ltd. The work comprised of an MOT and an engine oil and filter change service. Prior to this, the car was serviced in July 2022 at 57,135 miles, which was a minor service, and in May 2017 at 57,098 miles, which was a major service with an engine oil and filter change, as well as the replacement of the timing belt, water pump, and auxiliary belt.

The Clio Williams remains one of the most important and recognisable hot hatches of all time with this example presenting as a fantastic example to enhance the very finest of collections.
