This vehicle was originally built at South Bend in R1 configuration with a final assy date of 27th Dec 1962. The genuine R4 (B79) engine was fitted shortly after & the car had a colourful history before it arrived in Australia in 1974 where it was converted to RHC.I purchased the car in May 1976 & enjoyed it till late 1979 when I sold it to the current owner (Kevin Bell) in Perth, West Australia. He in turn, has put further restorative work into it to make it the fine Avanti it is today.
