Now here’s a rarity on our shores. So rare in fact that it’s believed to be one of only 14 now known to the DVLA and the only one currently licensed for the road. Believed to have been the last such example to be UK registered, ‘H174 HPC’ has had only five keepers to date, the most recent of whom purchased the Renault from the wife of a late owner; an ex-Renault mechanic who had used it for travelling to France and Spain. The car’s white paintwork is paired with black leather interior trim, and its extensive specification includes sunroof, JVC audio system and tow pack. The vendor currently classes the nicely patinated upholstery as ‘good’ and the 2-litre petrol engine, automatic transmission, four-door bodywork and paintwork as ‘average’. He is now offering the car complete with a boot full of new old-stock spare parts including wheel cylinders, filters, head gasket set, CV joints, drive shafts, suspension joints and more, plus the Renault’s original factory-fitted radio/cassette player. This capacious long-distance cruiser is now offered at No Reserve and complete with a large history file containing the service book (six stamps), owner’s manuals and a selection of old MOTs, receipts and invoices, some of which are from abroad.
The front-wheel drive Renault 25 executive saloon was the successor to the 20/30 model and the flagship of the Renault range between 1983 and 1992, at which point it was replaced by the Safrane. It proved to be an economical performer thanks to a low drag coefficient of 0.31. It was also well received by the motoring press, taking second place in the 1985 European Car of the Year rankings. A total of 780,976 examples of the model were produced during its 10-year reign.
In summary:
- A proven long-distance traveller displaying 122,301 miles
- Comes with a boot full of spares and a large history file
- Being sold at No Reserve
