Description
Quirky, rare and charming! What a truly wonderful and original little French car this is! Purchased brand new from Caledonia Renault of Romford in April 2007, for £13, 173. 75. Ordered in Naples Red Metallic Coachwork, range topping RXE specification and the bullet proof 1. 6 Injection Petrol Engine. The car stayed in the same ownership for over 26 years, until the elderly owner retired from driving. The car was then sold (by us) to an enthusiast just over a year ago, and he has just part exchanged it for one of our Rover 75 cars, another one on his bucket list.
The condition of the car inside, outside, underneath and mechanically is second to none! The bodywork is free from any lacquer peel, corrosion or unsightly imperfections. The sills and arches are free from any corrosion and the car sits extremely proud of itself indeed. Sporting its original supplying dealer number plates and window sticker! We have the original purchase invoice from Caledonia Renault, featuring a Peugeot 306 in part exchange. The original Renault book pack with operating manuals is also still with the vehicle, along with two remote keys. This delightful Megane uses no water or oil and maintains perfect temperature in and out of traffic. The clutch has a very decent midway biting point, the steering, suspension and brakes operate perfectly with no issues whatsoever. The engine is sprightly, smoke free and fires up with the first turn of the key. The original interior is virtually spotless and really takes you back to this period in time, simply outstanding.
The service history portfolio is just as impressive as the car itself. We have a huge collection of paperwork, including EVERY service invoice, parts invoices, health check, individual MOT certificate and TAX disc! We more than likely have every invoice or receipt ever produced for this vehicle, over the last quarter of a century. It really is that comprehensive. Renault Main Dealer Services recorded at 10. 7K, 19. 7K, 28. 7K, 38K, 49. 5K and 58. 4K. Independent Services recorded at 58. 5K (Timing Belt Service), 62. 8K, 67K and 67. 2K. Recent expenditure includes £940. 40 on Full Service including all filters and plugs, plus front brake discs & pads, rear brake overhaul including brake shoes and brake fluids, 4 new tyres, middle exhaust sections replaced and new auxiliary belt. We replaced the cambelt and waterpump last year (2023) when we sold it. All of the above has been carried out within the last 550 miles! In total we have over £4, 300 of paid invoices, with receipts!
