ive had one of them luke warm 2.0 clio phase 3's - they are exactly that, luke warm didnt handle particularly well either.

 

there still seem to be a few 1.7 puma's without papier mache rear arches on sale so i'd go for one of them under 2k personally, had a few of them now.

Swift Sport seems like a good shout.

 

My Puma 1.7 Thunder could be for sale - rear arches are starting to rust admittedly, and it needs a few other minor bits doing, but would be about £1000 and has a year's MoT.

How bad are the arches? Ideally wanted something that was quite tidy and needing no work but you never know.

What about a Saxo? They aren't as much as a 106 but essentially the same car. You may get lucky and get a VTS but more realistically you should get a decent VTR for that money. If budget allows get a phase 1 and the value will only appreciate. Not the fastest out there but good fun.

I picked my phase 2 up for a shade over £200 when you could.

Probably not tidy enough for what you want. The driver's side is going where there was a previous repair, and the passenger side is just starting to show signs of going in the same place: https://www.flickr.com/photos/186130016@N07/50955606348/in/dateposted-public/

Yeah I will have to pass. Cheers though.

I got my daughter a 2011 Clio a couple of years ago. 1.2 with turbo. It's an absolute laugh around the lanes. She keeps up with my 239bhp 1series msport, until I get to a straight bit

Rented one of those in Poland. Very capable little car. It also seemed well screwed together and drove rather well. I'd actually consider one as a modern. Looks smart too. 

 

Edit

Actually it was the later Mk4 (Mk5?) Clio, the one for sale still.  But still, always had a soft spot for Clios. They're great cars, any generation.
