82 The Classic Sale at Silverstone - Cars Registration: L299 LCK Chassis No.: VF1C57M0510844746 Estimate: £28,000 - £36,000 Lot 403 1993 Renault Clio Williams (Phase 1) The initial production run of the Clio Williams was limited to just 5,400 examples, of which only 390 came to the UK. The car presented here is a 1993 Renault Clio Williams (Phase 1), #0179, and was originally supplied though Renault Manchester on 31st December 1993, initially wearing the private registration ‘5174 MP’ and then, in 1997, this was removed and DVLA issued the current registration of ‘L299 LCK’. The car is accompanied by a comprehensive service history from new, with 15 stamps in its original service book, a history file with numerous receipts for parts and service work over the years, along with 15 MOT certificates. Back in 2010, ‘L299 LCK’ was taken off the road with a comprehensive restoration planned and was well stored in a dry garage until 2018 when our vendor became its owner and embarked on the most complete and detail-laden restoration imaginable. In our vendor’s words, “The stunning car you see before you is the result of many years of work carried out by a retired car restorer who rebuilt this car purely for pleasure and without any budget or time restrictions.” “The body itself was in very good order having spent many years in dry storage, many new old stock parts were used where available, these include a genuine Renault windscreen, exhaust, dampers, and many many more; the engine has been fully rebuilt and balanced, a genuine water pump and cam belt kit fitted, whilst the gearbox has been refurbished with new bearings and seals.” “All the suspension components and dampers are new, along with new brake components and refurbished genuine Renault brake callipers. As you would expect, the paintwork is totally flawless along with the plastic trims and mouldings, the glass is all genuine and still wears the cars original matching security numbers. The car’s specification is very original with only a couple of modern-day upgrades, the engine mounts are modern Vibra-Technics units, and a soft clutch conversion has been completed making the clutch pedal much more useable on a daily basis.” This is an opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable homologation road cars of the last 30 years. Whilst in ‘better than new’ condition and preserved for years to come, this sparkling little Clio remains eminently useable and may turn out to be a rather shrewd purchase. A UK-delivered Clio Williams 1, one of only 390 and restored to a fanatical level. More Details Lot 403 Bid On Lot 403
