Renault Espace as a light commercial vehicle – Dutch van/bestel registrations of the large passenger car: 8 versions, 2 to 3.5 litres displacement, 1.9 to 2.7 tonnes gross vehicle weight
From 1984 the Espace was Renault's first large passenger car of its kind and is regarded as one of the pioneers of the van class in Europe, originally built by Matra in Romorantin. This collective page gathers Espace versions registered in the Netherlands as light commercial vehicles (N1); the suffixes VAN and BESTEL – Dutch for delivery van – indicate conversions without a rear seat, through which owners benefited from the lower commercial-vehicle tax rate.

The register lists 8 versions from four- to six-cylinder engines of 1,995 to 3,498 cm³. Unladen weights range from 1,200 to 1,914 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,880 to 2,665 kg, with widths from 1,670 to 1,890 mm.
Reclassifying passenger cars such as the Espace as commercial vehicles was long a common practice in the Netherlands to benefit from lower tax rates for company vehicles; externally the vehicles usually stayed unchanged apart from the missing rear seating. The Espace itself, as a passenger car, shaped the segment of comfortable family vans with variable seating.
When buying these Espace versions, check the condition of the automatic or manual gearbox, rust on the sills and wheel arches, the operation of the power steering, and, on turbodiesel models, the condition of the turbocharger and injection pump. The Renault network supplies parts widely, including for the older Espace generations.
