Vehicle Description
Matra (M�canique Aviation Traction) had a long and very close
relationship with Renault, starting with the world's first mid
engined road car the Matra Djet sports car, Renault powered and
full of pioneering and technologically advanced engineering and
design. For the next 40 years, Matra provided the inspiration for
much of Renault's most avant-garde work, none more so than the
Avantime concept, unveiled at the Paris Salon in 1998, pushing the
boundaries of the MPV concept into new, sporting luxury lifestyle
territory. Available as a 2-litre 'Dynamique' or 3-litre V6
'Privilege' in the UK, both provided an excellent balance of
performance and comfort to match the purposeful and distinguished
coup� lines. This top of the range 3.0 litre, V6 Privilege is a
particularly rare find. First registered on 1st September 2009, it
is finished in Illiade Blue with a silver roof with a cream hide
interior. The current owner has had the car since 9th March 2015
and it has been serviced by him every May during his ownership; it
has also been serviced by the previous owners. Recently, it has
benefitted from two new tyres, new brakes and the exhaust has been
replaced with a stainless steel item. Both the interior and
paintwork have been tended to. A highly desirable and rare
specification Avantime. For sale by auction on Saturday 23
September 2017 with Historics at Brooklands, Brooklands Motor
Racing Circuit, Weybridge, Surrey, Call 01753 639170
