2005 Renault Clio V6 Phase 2

Offered for sale is this outstanding 2005 Renault Clio V6 Phase 2, finished in its iconic launch colour of Iliad Blue. With only 28,000 miles from new and a fully documented service history, this rare hot hatch icon is presented in superb condition throughout. Originally delivered to England but imported to Ireland in 2007, this car has avoided the typical underside corrosion issues that often affect UK-supplied examples. A recent full service, including timing belts, makes this one of the most mechanically sorted and investment-worthy Clio V6s on the market today. The Iliad Blue paintwork remains in stunning condition with excellent depth and a high gloss finish, complemented by unmarked factory 18" alloys and original bodywork free of dings or previous repair. The unique wide-body design, flared arches, and side air intakes set the Phase 2 apart as a true modern classic. All glass, lights, trim and rubbers present in excellent original condition, with no evidence of corrosion, accident damage, or poor repair. The interior is factory-correct and exceptionally well preserved, with the original Recaro sports seats, leather-trimmed steering wheel, and brushed alloy accents all in superb condition. The switchgear, dash, and door cards show minimal wear and everything functions as intended. A completely original and unmodified cabin, offering a clean and focused driving environment that reflects careful, low-mileage ownership. The mid-mounted 3.0L V6 engine produces 255bhp and delivers power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual gearbox—resulting in a truly involving drive. This car has just had a full major service, including new timing belts, fluids, and filters, with invoices available. Brakes and suspension have also been inspected and remain in excellent order. The car is tight, responsive, and mechanically spot-on, ready to be enjoyed without needing a cent spent. With its balanced chassis, communicative steering, and thrilling V6 soundtrack, the Clio V6 Phase 2 offers a driving experience unlike any other hatchback. Wider, faster, and more refined than the Phase 1, the Phase 2 benefits from a reworked suspension setup and better weight distribution. This particular example feels composed and lively on the road, pulling hard through the gears and delivering confidence-inspiring grip. A genuine future classic with everyday usability and supercar character.
