It'll be a Mk3 chassis with the MkIV style front end, engine wise, originally, the cabriolet only came with the 2.0 8v engine and not the 16v, so unless a previous owner has switched the engine for a 16v lump its an 8valve.

open the bonnet and look.

2.0 8v -


2.0 16v -


Avantgarde is simply a spec, nothing more - comes with leather and a mohair hood etc

Avant garde used to give elec roof, air con nicer alloys etc itt just refers to trim spec not sure about later cars but suspect they all had the 2.0 8v motor Look under the bonnet and see!
