Yes please! One of the only cars to be double hinged, the other being the original Lexus coupe.

I owned mine for nearly 11 years - at its best when stuck in traffic jams on the motorway! A press of the "big air" button dropped all windows and opened sunroof in a single sweep. Did it once and a kid in a car next to me insisted I had one of his sweets!

It was the ultimate in wafting. The price is rather high. When I bought mine it was on at just short of £20000. I saw from the advert it was just about to fall off the "Renault to go scheme". I offered them £12000 and after a brief wait they said yes! Deal of the century!

It's the car I miss the most - since then I've had a couple of V6 Saabs, 3 S/C V8 Jag XFs and now a Tesla Model 3 - but the Avantime is the one I really miss. I think an electric one would be awesome!
