1980 Avanti II RQB review from North America
"Its class and distinction of being unique were unsurpassed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
An improperly installed inner tube caused a tire blow-out.
The clock never worked.
General comments?
The use of every day systems from large manufacturers made service and availability easy.
The uniqueness was that nobody had one like it, and very few people knew what it was.
