Just missing the Clio Williams, the Mk1 and Mk2 5 Turbo’s

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.

Gotta say CC have smashed it out the park w the platform and the podcast, these videos are the Chris content w all need

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.

Renault Hatch Backs will always be underrated. Thanks to remind me of driving and enjoying the ones I have owned Chris!

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!

My First “Quick” Car was a 11 Turbo. I loved it. Fantastic memories in that Car.

Anything car related and Chris Harris is superb What a collection on Renaults 182 best car I’ve ever owned

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

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.

Had a 19 16V back in day. Handling was cracking, bolstered seats superb. Thanks CC!

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

Love them all, I’ll always fly the French flag high. Just missing a Williams , Alien green 200 ,a 172 cup and a 5 turbo

Chris Harris for the win 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love from South Africa!!

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?

Amazing collection! Keep up the good work Chris this channel is awesome.

I really miss my 172 cup. Such a fantastic little car.

Another brilliant piece by Mr Harris, what a collection! 🔥

I had a 182 clio and still miss it immensely. Pure simplicity and all the car you’ll ever need on the road.

We love you Chris! Thanks collecting cars!

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.

Love the video. Had a 1.2 clio grande on a t plate it loved to rev and take corners at speed thank you for the nostalgia

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!

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

Thx for your Renault's passion ❤️ it's a plaisure to see you drive those cars each time . A M3RS owner.

Chris Harris gets a break from filming Top Gear and cranks out an incredible amount of video content for his fans. LEGEND.

Fantastic video, these cars are where it is at for pure enjoyment in today’s world.

We had a four when I was a kid the noises it made cornering were amazing... Squeeeeeel!

What a collection of cars! Owned my 182 for 9 years, can’t beat it for the money.

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

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.

A mate of mine had a Trophy, from shortly after it was released, and used it as his daily - that thing could seriously hussle.

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.

Amazing collection I love every one of them, weirdly I would drive away in the Renault 4 😂 thanks for the insight Chris 👍

Loved the Frankie Howard reference!

Chris spending time with cars is a magical thing

I really miss my 172. You can’t beat an F4R engine on throttle bodies for engagement. It’s brutally raw

Absolutely love your videos

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.

Chris being brilliant, as ever - I'd buy them all too, if I could...

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 🥺☺️🤘

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!

The Clio Williams will always be my favorite classic hot hatch.

god i miss my 182,,, driving through my village and the alarm randomly going off,,, amazing drive tho 100%

Great video and very nice collection. Missing the Renault 5 Alpine and Turbo 1!

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..

Owned a Renault 5 Alpine back in the day. (Gordini turbo here) Apart from torque steer it was great fun and I just wish I still had it today.

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.

That's some collection!

I got so excited when this came up on my feed I love these cars I'm about to sell my 197 and buy a 275 trophy later this year

When Chris is involved it doesn't matter what he's showing us around, what a joy, Rj in Oz

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.

Love the colour coded jumper to the car covers

Missing a 200 Cup

I have a Clio 182 cup and sometimes I wish I had a type R. Then I go out and drive the thing hard and love everything about it.

WAY more interesting than an Italian exotic collection..top job guys

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.

Just have to say it is awesome to see Chris presenting the video wearing a 2 euro beanie from Spar. What a legend.

That Clio V6 Phase 2 and Spider are my favourite, though I much prefer the former.

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.

Fancy driving your old clio V6? It can be arranged

Some good old friends there from my days with the RUK Press fleet ........... there was a blue V6 too

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.

I have a Williams 1 and a Ph1 172 :) Awesome fun! I also owned a R5GTT Raider! All amazing.

I am sure many of you remember the crazy renault space (mini van) with a f1 engine in it. Gotta love that one too

i got a megane rs 250 in october and i fell in love with from day 1

Sir, that green sweater of yours is truly fantastic.

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.

I've had two clio 200s and one megane 250 cup, Amazing cars!!!

I had never seen the beauty of a Renault Clio collection 👌

Well done, Chris

A genuine presenter with genuine drivers cars - now so rare and costly that you hardly ever get to see them in their original environment.

Excellent production

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

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.

Clio 182 cup the BEST little Hot hach ever

Amazing 🙌🙌 would of loved to see a R5 GT turbo

No 5gt turbo one of my most enjoyed cars I have owned

I love a 90s Renault, currently got a Safrane.

Holy crap... completely forgot about the Sport Spider. Still looks amazing. Also didn't realise how tiny the A110 is. Clio V6... crazy but I want one.

Alex Goy has a great carfection video on the clio v6 well worth a watch

Quality stuff!

Love this! :D

I’ve been looking at the 275 trophy a lot recently. Clio V6 amazing very rare in yellow

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.

Great vid... Had a phase 1 V6 Clio way back. It was fun in town 'cos it turned heads. Okay out on the road, but not as rewarding as the Integrale Evo II it replaced...(Yes, BooHoo me) Recently bought a 172 Clio which is a hooligan, though still has same driving position problem as the V6, so working on lowering the driver's seat.

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.

I remember being offered to buy a Clio V6 for about £2K about 11 years ago and turning it down because it needed a bit of work. Now they sell for more that twenty times that 😩.

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.

This is a WhooWhoo Collection 💐🕊

I love that Alpine!

Just brilliant cars

I miss my old 172 cup. Covered 140k in it commuting and lapping the Nurburgring, never skipped a beat and was used as intended not detailed within an inch of its life. Not bad for car made of cheese, superb cars.

I'm drooling with the V6 and the RS2 Trophy... golden era!

f1 225 my daily driver. sticks to the road like sh*t to an army blanket. love it

I know that in Sport and Trophy trim it looks even better but I do think that the Clio II Phase 2 even in standard trim is a modern design icon I think it still looks so fresh and crisp compared to it's contemporary 206's and Corsa's and the like.

Hi Chris. I,m missing the infamous R5 Turbo ll🤷‍♂️ A cool car in fact😉

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.
