72 - 1997 RENAULT SPIDER

1997 RENAULT SPIDER Chassis: VMKAF0H0515720558 French vehicle registration certificate • Windshield version • Low mileage (just over 42,000 km) • Production run of fewer than 1,000 units Introduced in 1995, the Renault Sport Spider symbolizes Renault Sport’s return to a philosophy centered on lightness and mechanical purity. Built around an extruded aluminum chassis and a composite-material body, it embodies the spirit of the stripped-down sports roadster, designed to offer a direct and unadorned driving experience. It is powered by a 2.0-liter, 16-valve, 4-cylinder engine derived from the Renault Clio Williams, producing 150 ch, with a curb weight of approximately 930 kg. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, this combination gives the car lively and precise handling, particularly appreciated by purists. The example shown here is a “windshield” version, which is more versatile than the original configuration that lacked a front windshield. First registered in 1997, this car has just over 42,000 km on the odometer and has been owned by its current owner for seven years. Last August, the timing belt was replaced and the car underwent a service (invoice provided). With the exception of an open-exhaust system, this Spider is in excellent condition and retains a largely original configuration, unlike many other examples. With fewer than 1,000 units produced, the Renault Sport Spider in its “windscreen” version holds a special place in the brand’s history: that of a flagship model, combining technology, lightness, and pure driving thrills. 1997 Renault Sport Spider ‘windscreen’ Chassis: VMKAF0H0515720558 French vehicle registration document • Windscreen version • Low mileage (just over 42,000 km) • Production run of fewer than 1,000 units Unveiled in 1995, the Renault Sport Spider symbolizes Renault Sport’s return to a philosophy centered on lightness and mechanical purity.
