    R1 built on Jan 17, 1963, on the owners birthday. Gold with Black and Fawn interior. Orginal interior was Fawn. Restored 3 times then renewed again in 1997 to conform to Switzerland state regulations so that it could be used on the road. Currently, the dash gages are metric and sports a speedometer that reads in KPH's. The true mileage is unknown, possibly over 150,000 miles travelled but you could never tell by looking at the car.

    Owned by father, undergoing frameoff restoration. Will be rebodied from donor car R-1331.
      Originally my father's car purchased about 1967 from the original owner, Helen Tyson, who bought it new in the West Palm Beach area. An R1, automatic, with a/c, white exterior, turquoise/fawn interior. Shipped to Florida to begin a frame off restoration. Body was too far gone to salvage but the frame and engine were fine. I found a pristine body on eBay with a totally rusted out frame, no engine or tranny, and purchased it from Suzanne Stolle of Appleton, Wisconsin in August 2003. That Avanti was R1331, and I towed it to Florida to use that body on my frame. Restoration on R2990 is progressing nicely and may be finished by end of 2006. The Avanti turned a lot of heads when I was a kid riding in her with Dad. It is a tribute to my father and a labor of love to bring her back to life and travel the road again in it and turn some more heads!
