2002 Renault Aventime Dynamique for sale
Current customer rating: (388 votes ) based onRenault's 2+2 Coupe GT MPV concept wowed the crowds as well as
the motoring press when revealed as a styling exercise at the Paris
Motor Show in 1998. So much so that the concept. by Patrick Le
Quement. was boldly taken into production largely unchanged. With
design 'ahead of its time' the Avantime (French word "Avant"
meaning "ahead" with English word "time") this flagship was packed
full of luxuries. safety features and advanced engineering.
Highlights included unique double-hinged 'kinematic' pillarless
doors allowing easy access to the front and rear seats (even when
tightly parked). the world's largest opening glass sunroof at the
time featuring strengthened heat-reflecting tinted glass. theatre
seating (rear positioned higher than the front). galvanised steel
chassis with aluminium upper structure. cavernous 530 litre boot. br/>xenon headlights. and a 'grand air' button which simultaneously
opens all pillarless windows and sunroof at the press of one
switch.
Following extensive delays in launching. just ten months after
Avantime production started in 2001. Matra announced that they
would cease all vehicle manufacturing. Renault elected not to
continue the Avantime themselves when Matra stopped assembling cars
in 2003 so across 18 months only 4. 57 Avantime's were built.
BBC's Top Gear positioned the Renault Avantime at 'Sub Zero' on
the 'Cool Wall' stating it was cooler even than the Aston Martin
Vanquish and "the coolest car money can buy". Despite this just 450
cars sold in the UK.
This 2002 2. 0 litre Turbo Dynamique was specified in Steel Grey
with silver aluminium roof rails contrasted with black half-leather
interior and optioned with satellite navigation. First Registered
to 'Renault UK Limited' before re-sale in 2003 the car has had just
one private registered keeper who has used Renault main dealerships
for all maintenance and servicing. Receipts in the history file
show several thousands of pounds spent with Evan Halshaw Renault
main dealership on general maintenance and upkeep in the last few
years alone. For example. within the last 4. 00 miles. all ignition
coils. spark plugs plus front and rear brake discs and pads have
been renewed. A Renault supplied rear exhaust system was also
fitted giving the correct factory tailpipe aesthetic not usually
seen these days on other Avantimes. The car drives and performs as
you would expect such a fastidiously maintained vehicle to do. The
turbo gives the car nimble performance despite its size and all in
all a bright and very rewarding driving experience.
The Avantime combines bold styling with exceptional comfort and a
host of quirky and interesting features that would appeal to most
car enthusiasts. When you overlay the GT flare and performance with
such limited production numbers. we believe that the Avantime
possesses all of the hallmarks for collectability. future
investment and thoroughly enjoyable classic ownership.
