Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
The Clio Baccarà offers bags of plush practicality and efficiency, and might surprise the casual driver with its dynamics and charm.
The Clio was first seen in 1990, created to replace the iconic Renault 5, one of the first FWD Superminis. With a refinement rarely seen on Superminis, the all-new Clio inherited much of the 5's good qualities, adding comfort, grip, and safety. While Renault is also respected for its engine efficiency and durability, it was the memorable and successful advertisement 'Nicole & Papa' campaign that helped to establish Clio as the best-selling Renault of the 1990s.
Launched in the UK in the spring of 1991, a comprehensive line-up of 3 and 5-door hatchbacks was available, with a series of new engines ranging from 1.2 to 2.0 litres. Sat in the upper echelons of the phase one line-up, was the Baccarà model. Furnished with metallic paint, a fully colour-coded exterior finish, front fog lights, alloy wheels, leather seats and wood trim, the Baccarà is a plusher version of the standard Clio, adding a little additional exclusivity to an already appealing model. Originally fulfilling a role as both a car for small families or a stylish city runabout, the phase one Clio has now become quite hard to find, particularly in solid and original condition.
Originally registered in 1993, this 1.4-litre 5-door automatic Baccarà has been in the same family since new and has rarely strayed away from the Isle of Wight. In very original condition, with an excellent interior and clean bodywork, it has just ~27,218 miles on the clock. It is sold with 13 service stamps, 12 Months MOT and its original owner's manual.
