I bought a Renault Espace (2 litre petrol engine) new in 1990.Sold it in 2000 still running with 450000 miles on it, yes you read that right. It was a brilliant vehicle,7 seats( 5 removeable individually),would carry half a ton without too adversely affecting handling/braking at motorway speeds, very comfortable on 500 mile drives a few times a week; sheet moulded composite body on galvanized steel underbody and body frame-about 400 pounds lighter than comparable VW or Ford which is one of the reasons it outhandled and outbraked them. Similar shape to Pontiac Transport but not so garish.
