Upon its launch in 1996, the Renault Sport Spider was intended to be a race car for the road. Its light weight (2,050 lbs), aluminum chassis, and integrated drivetrain turned the 148-hp 16-valve 2.0-liter four-potter into an engaging driving machine. Not many were made in the four-year run (~1,800 from 1996 through 1999). They were forbidden fruit for us in the States but a few made it over under the Show-and-Display exemption. It’s unclear if this car is one of those but the seller states that it came to them from long-time stewardship in a California collection. The very low miles (1,650) would support a Show-and Display status, though it reportedly underwent an extensive refresh to allow for its next owner, should they so choose, to use it as intended: drive it with Gaelic grin. Find it here on Craigslist for less than a driver-quality Lotus Elise at $49,999.
