Renault Espace mark one any love?

[paulsrje]

I have a Espace mark one on a c plate sat in my garage,I've never got round to doing any work on it so thought I'd see if there was many interest on the site in taking it off my hands for a small amount?

If interested let me know it was mot'd prior to being put away.

Battery totally flat now,tyres still hold air,tight fit in garage!

Located in Farnborough Hampshire...

[bramz7]

You're really local to me so if someone who wants it wants me to go look, I can help!

 

I can't as too much fleet goings on. As per.

[skattrd]

Tempting, but I already have a broken mk1 Espace.

This I would guess is a ph1 being '85?  so this would be the more square front and carb?

[paulsrje]

Very early was going to title it as a mark one mark one but was worried only I would get my joke!

I will try and get some pictures up.

Comes with a Minidisc player!!!

Nb the gear knob was made by a previous owner(the only owner apart from me) and is a bodgers delight!!!! well worth seeing.

Bramz come and see it anyway,they are quite rare now!

PM’d

 

(Ie yes pleeez!)

[skattrd]

Lol, nice one Nigel, why am I not surprised ..

 

My gear-knob was made of gaffer tape until I blagged a replacement one off a breaker.

[capsuleboy]

Yes lots of love, here is my old one...

Let me know if Nigel doesn't have it.

[dollywobbler]

Bah. Too slow!

[sierraman]

I can’t get it out of my head when I see these about Harold Shipman having one. Same for doom blue Mondeo mk3s always make me think of infamous hooker murderer Steve Wright.

[Stinkwheel]

_{I never really gave any attention to these, but now they really appeal. I suppose its just the mad French weird - ness that just intrigues.}

A nob-MPV? The AS hall of fame awaits.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

I'm constantly trawling over here for one......... I WILL get one - just missed out on a Quadra recently - darn it! 

Get er dun - Nigel......

[paulsrje]

Had a nice chat with Nigel today and the espace is off to join him.

Thanks for all the interest!

If I could only work out how to add photos to this site I'd make this less boring!

There's probably an official "how-to" but here's mine.

[nigel bickle]

This help?

 

 

 

 

 

‘‘Tis mine. Funds being forwarded by SWMBO, with collection soon.

[mitsisigma01]

Where's the gearknob ?

[bramz7]

That's lovely. I need to try one out, but I think my other half will actually (finally some might say) kill me if I rocked up in an MPV.

[w00dy]

Oooh nice! I do like an early one.

[Spottedlaurel]

Interesting to see on the Suffolk 'PV' plate, must have been rocking around my part of the world when it was new. Maybe ex-Green Ace Garage, Ipswich?

 

Just realised why it was familiar to me, very close number to the 9 that Baz (formerly of this parish) bought back in 2007:

Good luck with it Nigel.

Did Shipman actually own one, or was it just passing behind him when he was interviewed on the BBC?

 

GLWTS.

[jonathan_dyane]

No it seems it was actually his https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/local-news/norah-nuttall-1180886.amp

[sierraman]

I remember an article about someone who had unwittingly bought it after shipman was locked up.

[paulsrje]

The knob!
