1998 Venturi Atlantique 300
- A real ‘if you know you know’ car…
- Believed to be 1 of only 6 RHD examples ever delivered.
- Powered by a wonderful 3.0l turbocharged V6 producing 285bhp – this is a lively car!
- The current owner acquired the car in January of 2017, where it was delivered to RATS (Renault Alpine Tuning Services) with the view to have the restored.
- While it was with them, the following work was carried out, but sadly the invoices have been lost:
- Engine & all ancillaries removed, compression & oil pressure tested, cleaned and re-fitted
- Both subframes dropped for full inspection & repair
- Tub was cleaned down & a number of small welding repairs were carried out
- All above was rust proofed & then painted
- Turbo refurbished
- Gearbox checked & found to be good
- New drive shaft seals fitted
- New fuel pumps fitted while the tank had been taken out
- Wiper mechanism rebuilt
- Wishbones repaired & fabricated as appropriate
- For picture evidence, please see this link to a Facebook album…
- In 2019, RATS and the Venturi moved to J Ashley where a further £35k’s worth of work was to be carried out over the next 5 years.
- To view all invoices through this period, please follow the link here.
- During the car’s last segment of work, the external body colour was changed from Silver to NART Blue – which we think suits the car incredibly well!
- Prior to being advertised, Auto Wax Works machine polished the car to really accentuate just how good this paint looks today.
- As always, if you would like to come down for a viewing, please don’t hesitate to get in contact and we would be more than happy to make arrangements.
