Description
I have for sale my rare 2003 (53 plate) Renault Avantime Dynamique 2. 0 Turbo Petrol, 6 Speed Manual
First registered on 21/ 11/ 2003, I believe this to be one of the last Avantime's registered.
Finished in very rare and spotless Steppe Metallic (Colour Code 211) with the Chassis Grey Aluminium Roof Bars. The bodywork is spotless. The Avantime is made on an Aluminium Structure with Plastic Body Panels, meaning they do not tend to rust. There is no signs of rust or age related wear and tear on the bodywork or underbody of the car.
6 Speed Manual Gearbox which benefits from recently having an oil change using Elf Tranself NFP 75W80 Gear Oil, recommended by Renault for the PK6 Gearbox used on the Avantime. All gears work seamlessly, smoothly and pull well.
2. 0 Turbo Petrol Engine generating 165bhp, runs perfectly, no nasty noises, rattles etc. Very smooth, which you would expect for such low mileage.
I have ran the car strictly on Shell V-Power Nitro+ only while in my ownership, with receipts to prove this.
Comes with only 59, 286 miles on the clock with FULL Service History. All original booklets, service books, leather pouches all present.
Service Highlights include:
- x2 Timing Belt & Tensioner changes, the most recent at 51, 286 miles. Receipts present for both Timing Belt & Tensioner changes
- Full Service and Gearbox Oil change recently at 59, 126 miles
- Rear Discs and Pads changed at 59, 126 miles
- x2 new Rear Tyres at 59, 126 miles
- New Fuel Cap Solenoid Regulator fitted at 59, 126 miles (common problem on the Avantime making it hard to open the fuel cap)
- New number plates front and back as the originals were looking a little tired. I still have the originals available. (I haven't popped the front plate on yet)
FULLY HPI Clear, I have the HPI certificate form when I purchased the car and various old HPI checks on the car however please feel free to check for yourself for peace of mind
Comes with 5 Months MOT
I am the 2nd owner of the car from new. I purchased it from a couple who bought the car brand new from the dealership, I have the original bill of sale from when the car was new.
V5 Registration Document Present
2 Sets of Original Remote Central Locking Keys Present with original dealership Renault keyring
I have a folder full of old receipts and invoices etc of all/ any maintenance carried out on the car from new.

'Open Air Mode' for me, what the Avantime is all about. One touch button which opens the Panoramic Sunroof and all 4 windows at the same time. A driving experience you will not get from any other car!
To facilitate access to the rear seats, two long doors featured a double parallel opening hinge system (known as "double kinematic") that maximized access with minimal outswing of the doors. Another quirky feature of the Avantime.

Rear Tyres 225/ 50/ 17, both with 7mm tread

Small Blemishes -
- the Aluminium Roof Bars have a small amount of paint bubbling on them. Very common on the Avantime, I was have been quoted £150 to repair and repaint
- door grab handles have a small amount of wear on them
I am being extremely fussy, however prefer to be honest. The car is extremely well presented for a 14 year old car and I feel extremely confident that anyone potentially interested would not be disappointed.
Vehicle is fully detailed every month, cleaned and valeted every week. It will be fully detailed and valeted for the new owner. The Steppe paintwork looks absolutely sensational when detailed.
I have really enjoyed my ownership of my Avantime, it is with a heavy heart I list the car, however I have recently purchased myself another classic car so no longer need or get to use the Avantime as much. The car has been used sparingly as a weekend car in my ownership, never thrashed - always allowed to warm up and cool down before/ after use. It comes with a fantastic spec and the car is a complete one off. It drives perfectly in every way, no fault lights on the dashboard etc, and I have no problems with any thorough inspections being made. The car will be sadly missed and I really do hope it goes to an enthusiast who will enjoy the car as much as I have.
The Avantime is a sure fire collectible classic, with only around 200 left in the UK. Main feature in last months Classic & Sports Car Magazine
Vehicle is located next to Glasgow City Centre
Asking Price: £4, 250
I have tried to be as detailed as possible, however no doubt missed something out. Any other question’s, please do not hesitate to ask me
