Ah Nick 😆 , I can see why that would appeal to you, same colour as your car ,AND it seems you have a kindred spirit over the ditch.......another ocd nutter who also licks his car clean 😂. I dont like it , them headlights .....nah , and the back is weird . Unless it got a stupidly big engine ( odds on it does being the usual yank substitute for handling and finesse ) Id much ( much much much ) rather have your car .😃.......and it is christmas 🌲⛄😁

:lol: :lol: Thanks Hamish.... I think :wave:

Mate this one has had a few modifications at the point of sale and is listed as 375bhp.!! Avanti did have v8 engines and in the 60's was one of the quickest about topping out at about 170mph which back then was quite something. They had an even quicker suped up model which was even quicker :shock:

Think this '83 model they called Avanti II and I do really love em mate as they certainly turn heads and do cause a bit of a stir with its love it or hate it lines and curves.

Danny they really pack a punch fella. !!! Some of the figures are wild.!! I just love the unique style to it but get that it's not to everyone's taste. It's certainly assured to get attention wherever it goes. Interior is very cool too. Now that one for sale you kindly linked to looks very nice indeed fella........maybe I'll add it to my collection one day.....if B112 can be classed as a "collection"... unlike you young sir where three Capris can deffo be classed as a collection :lol:
