Anyone who has owned a renaultsport will know exactly what this vid is about. For the money you can't get any other car in my opinion that will keep you smiling the way theses cars do. I currently own a 172 cup a 197 and a megane 275 trophy and have absolutely no intention of selling them.any time soon. All very capable cars on track too.
Came here to say this. You can see Harris is like a lot of us, we love all things about cars, the geeky stuff, and it’s brilliantly put together. We’ll done CC
Chris is always capable of transmitting his enthusiasm.. one of the best in the business. As for the collection..timeless.. but in my opinion missing the very very important Clio Williams ... i suggest seeing Harry's garage video on the 182 that he has.. Renault at its best.
@@Sweaty__Sheep the interior doesn't matter when you're going down a great road, that's what these cars are for. They compromise other things to have the best driving experience, bear in mind how cheap they were new. But the interiors are not great, the newer ones got a lot better though.
Just found this for some reason. As a 'very' long term owner of a 309gti and a dabble into the 306gti too, I can resonate with the French hot hatch feeling. Plenty of much bigger scalps in both of my frenchies and massive smiles. Great collection there and fantastic to feel the enthusiasm!
@@jamesspicer5628 did yours have the same heat sink issues as mine did. It didn’t like to start straight after a spirited drive. Loved the little car though. I went from a MK II Escort To the 11 Turbo and it was mind blowing with its little remote plippeer thingy that you aimed at the rear view mirror to lock/unlock…..
Considering when each of these cars were launched and what else was available at the time, there's no denying these were probably the most special cars that you could actually afford. Great to see Mr. Harris giving them such an honourable feature.
I had a 275 trophy and was genuinely shocked at the front end, never experienced turn in like it since, special car! I did expect to see a clio Williams and 5 turbo here though!
Really nice collection but in my opinion 4 models are missing: -Renault 19 16v Most underrated Renault hot hatch by far -Renault Clio Williams -Renault 21 Turbo (Quadra) -Renault 5 GT turbo
I have driven all of them apart from the alpine, all of them are awesome driving and hugely capable cars. As a mechanic I detested working on every single one of them 😂
My father has the exact same 1600SX A110, one of the very last "Berlinette" ever produced with the double wishbone rear suspension! Everything Chris said about it is true and even more! The car is so much fun to drive and slide around with all the weight on the rear wheels! And being 2m tall, it's also one of the hardest cars to drive! We're running it alongside a mk1 Lotus Elise and these cars are perfect together!
If only you knew how long I've waited for Chris to give his take on the original A110. A 10min piece on the (original) Alpine A110 would be most welcome. Bless you Collecting Cars. Thank you.
As a big renault fan (as you can see from my channel icon), i am happy that Chris is into Renault as well. Way too many ppl say Renault is shit bc it's French (or just bc it's Renault). I've had 1 Clio and 2 Meganes so far and they never let me down.
Renault have always been such a niche enthusiast brand, love every single one of those cars, none of them perfect but all buzzing with personality and fun factor
Chris, Please? Hearing you talk with such passion of manual hatchbacks has taken me back a long way! There is a severe lack of Nova SRI appreciation in the modern world. Are you the man to eleviate this problem?
Being a Francophone Cajun from South Louisiana AND a car person. I wish for the day I can drive/own a Renault spider on a back bayou road. Unfortunately, Renault never sold them here. I can remember finding it on Project Gotham Racing 2 and driving that car for HOURS. Thankfully im older and am starting to make more money so my dream may be a reality sooner than later. A man can hope.
Chris, they might not hail from an iconic sports car brand, but in their own way so many landmark cars, and importantly, still (mostly) accessible to most of us mere mortal.
I live next door to, what was a Renault dealer, in 1993, I was 13 and in the window there was a silver Clio RT. In 2004 I brought it, it had 115000 miles on it, I put phase 1 Renault 19, 16v wheels on it, I absolutely loved it, sold it a few years later, the kid wrote it off within a week 🥺☺️🤘
Agree with all of those except the 172 Cup, the 182 trophy is the definitive mk2 Clio, don't feel like they need a 172 as well imo. I own a 200, sadly not in alien green but I didn't want to stand out that much haha.
We had a robin’s egg blue R4L when I was a boy. We lived in Olton, outside of Birmingham, and travelled to Wales in it on holiday. A very special little car. Slow, but comfortable and surprisingly roomy.
This video has a real sense of Chris going back to his motoring journalism roots. I first encountered his enthusiastic style when he featured on Renault TV back in the early noughties
I have both mate and you certainly won't be let down with the megane trophy its a awesome car. Had mine 16 months now and absolutely love it. Had my 197 10 year and still a awesome wee car.
Prob because there won't be any Renault Sport Division anymore, so no point in keeping them since there won' be any new Clio RS or Megane RS. Renault shoot themself in the foot, in exiting the hot hatch market, but hey at least we got some new hot hatches from Hyundai, the i20N and i30N!
@@tavirosu25 Its still short sighted though. What if they do a u-turn in a few years? I think Jaguar got lucky and bought a whole collection, but Renault might not.
@@karlhurn dunno, supposed it wasn't their decision but from hireups, to cut costs. I mean they barely let Nissan do a couple of sportscars. It's all down to money and how greedy are the investors.
I bought the Spider, great little car and gets an amazing reaction whenever I go out in it. First saw one at the Monaco Grand Prix in 1996 doing parade laps, and wanted one every since. Now I have the UK press car!
Brings back so many good memories...Had a Renault 5 GT Turbo in the 80's, was a D Reg. Then onto the Megane RS, and just recently went from a RS 250 to a RS 280 Cup...Sad to see this will be then end of the RS in terms of ICE so will not let it go..
Love my Renaults. Had a 30TX 2.7 V6i when i was 17 !, then onto a Fuego 2.0 GTX, and a Fuego Turbo 1.6. Then a 5 GTT. Now have a stunning GTA 2.5 V6 Turbo.
I missed the 'throwabouty' of some of my Renaults that I had owned. Been out of them for years settling for bigger family cars and now a Jag F Type R. So I happened across a 1 owner RS Twingo and snapped it up. Now I'm out in the lanes on Dartmoor having fun! Gosh it's a great little motor.
So glad I was able to purchase and own a small part of the Renault hot hatch history, I currently own a RB Clio 182 not a trophy but God do I love driving the little car.
Good as usual from Harris. Given that the collection included the most famous and WRC winning Renault Alpine A110, it is baffling that they didn’t include current Alpine which nearly all motor journalists including Harris rave about. The earlier A610 Renault Alpine and A310 were also critically acclaimed and very elegant looking machines. Are these being saved for a later review?
The cars featured inthe video are there because they were for sale on Collecting Cars at the time of recording. The cars you mentioned weren't in the video because they weren't for sale.
Wow, what a fantastic collection. I love the 5 GTL and the MK1 and 2 Clio's. I've owned a 5 and a few MK2 Clio's, MK2 Mégane and many other models besides. I'm fact my dad had several two so I've been brought up around these cars and remember the spider and the V6 Clio launching. My dad also had one of the very first Mégane Coupes in 1996 and after all these years I finally picked up my 1997 Sunflower yellow Mégane coupe, ok so it's not got the legendary F7R engine (mines a 1.6) but the car is rare these days and it does somehow feel special every time I drive it. You really hit the nail on the head Chris when you said Renault knew how to make the ordinary feel exotic. Back in 96 when my dad had his first coupe it turned heads everywhere and not many cars in its class could go around corners the way it did. To put things into perspective the Ford Puma was still a year or so away and the mk1 Focus around two years.
that renault spider sport, I rate it more than the lotus elise of the time. It is pure driving joy and the size of the handbrake makes it obvious Renault wanted you to pull it, regularly.
This video kinda gave me some tears on my eyes, knowing that Renault Sport is no longer producing any car, that's sad for me as a lot of people understimate them and they are good value for money
@@Orcawhale1 the Clio is no more produced ans the Megane soon they will stop it, it's the last Gen of RS cars Even the name changed in Formule 1 to Alpine something
What a collection! Always loved the performance Renaults since driving a 5 Gordini in the late 70,s.The 172/182 derivatives seemed to have taken over from the Peugeot 205GTI as the go-to weapon of choice for the production based Hillclimb classes but surprised no 306 GTI-16 Peugeots, similar power to Renaults and also light! Were there any Turbo 2 rally cars here or V6 GTA,s?
Does anyone know where the other clio v6 in the uk is? Our mechanic here in melbourne has a friend from UK who imported his car 12 years ago in Australia but sadly he died before the car arrived here. I was so stoked when I saw it but got sad when I heard the story about the owner.
I still remember the Renault Gordini when it was introduced it preceded the Renault 5 turbo way back in the 80’s. I used to think the Williams tuned cars with the beautiful metallic blue paint jobs were the pinnacle of Renault fast cars for the average working man. Okay
My first car was a black Clio 1.4 RT 1992 (J plate) purchased in 1998 with about 55k miles on. Spent about £2k on audio equipment. Blew the engine up, probably because I didn't know about oil changes and services. Replaced the engine and kept it going. Replaced it with...a 1992 (J) 16v in 447 Sport blue. Basically a Williams light. I still think it's the most chuckable car I've ever driven. Mainly because it was cheap at the time so no fear. Replaced with much faster and more powerful cars over the years but none of them really touched that Valver for its ability to be thrown at a corner with no fear of problems.
I've always had a fondness for the Trophy R and CUP cars they've made, even when people were bashing Renault for "quality". I knew they were special then, and I'm delighted to hear, others think the same of them as well.
TBH I find it quite sad when a car company pawns off its heritage collection/press fleet like this. A collection of like-new examples of significant cars just cast out into the ether. Hopefully they all go to respectful homes.
Faltou ai o Brasileiro, Renault Sandero R.S. ele tem um motor 2.0 16v de 150 cv 0 à 100 em 7s e máxima de 230km/h..... The Brazilian was missing there, Renault Sandero R.S. it has a 2.0 16v engine of 150 hp 0 to 100 in 7s and a maximum speed of 230km/h.
So back in '91 my mum ordered a Clio RT in that colour, and at the last minute the dealer had to swap it for a tungsten one. The spec was identical, apart from the electric mirrors, so I wonder if this was originally meant to be hers, and what turned into my first car when I turned 17. Nostalgic memories.

We had a four when I was a kid the noises it made cornering were amazing... Squeeeeeel!
Had a clio 172 cup, I simply don't understand how any other car on the planet could beat it on a windy B-road
I had one too - fookin' epic bit of kit. Should of kept it for the weekends.
Renault wre good for handling had a renualt 19 16v
I had a 220 Trophy. It was very fast but the current Type R is faster even in slow corners.
I have a 182, nicely modified. People laugh at me when I say the same thing, but we know the truth ;)
172 Cup was probably my favourite Renault. S1 106 Rallye was the one though. The most predictable lift-off oversteer I’ve ever driven.
We had a robin’s egg blue R4L when I was a boy. We lived in Olton, outside of Birmingham, and travelled to Wales in it on holiday. A very special little car. Slow, but comfortable and surprisingly roomy.

i have been lucky enough to take the R26R onto Circuit De Spa-Francorchamps. absolute MONSTER of a car even when the circuit was wet in the morning.
Missing a 200 Cup
I'm drooling with the V6 and the RS2 Trophy... golden era!

I had never seen the beauty of a Renault Clio collection 👌
I love a 90s Renault, currently got a Safrane.
Surprised the Williams Clio wasn't there.
TBH I find it quite sad when a car company pawns off its heritage collection/press fleet like this. A collection of like-new examples of significant cars just cast out into the ether. Hopefully they all go to respectful homes.

More of these videos please. Subaru Spec C vs Mitsubishi FQ300. A video version of that article you wrote for Autocar in 2003.
Sad not seeing a clio Williams there.
So back in '91 my mum ordered a Clio RT in that colour, and at the last minute the dealer had to swap it for a tungsten one. The spec was identical, apart from the electric mirrors, so I wonder if this was originally meant to be hers, and what turned into my first car when I turned 17. Nostalgic memories.
