Hi everyone! I got my 1963 Avanti R2 now finally registered here in Austria and had my first drive on the road - a great feeling! What a great car. One thing I struggle with, however, is that the steering wheel is quite stiff. So getting out of my garage with reversing several times is really hard work because the steering wheel does hardly turn when I drive at such low speed as when driving out of the garage. On the road with normal speed it is fine, but when revesing it is a real hazzle. Does anyone have recommendations how to improve that? Or should I retrofit power steering? (as it was originally without power steering I would rather avoid that if possible) Every input appreciated!

Great, thank you!

Hi everybody, can anyone maybe help me which Fußes I should User? On the picture I see longer Ines, medium length and Shorts Ines, but how much Ampere? (My Avanti ist a 1963 R2) Thanks! Stefan

Hi, the homepage and e-mail of the Swiss Avanti Owners Club do not work anymore. Does anyone have new contact data? What happened?

thank you, I will check that out

thank you!

I see, there are some Avantis over here in Europe - thank you for your pictures! In Austria, I am not sure if there are any other than mine but I will find out during next year 🙂

Hi, I have just brought my new Avanti home from its prior owner in Switzerland, last week: 1963 R2 color grey red seats and beige dash imported from the US to Switzerland by Binelli & Ehrsam AG, Zurich first registered in Milano, Italy, in 1967 by a Mr. Passoni VIN R-4641 Engine no. S-2514 Body no. 3609 Factory order no. 1416 I thought I could post some photos here as I am quite proud right now 🙂 If anybody knows anything about this car's prior history, please let me know. Best wishes from Vienna, Stefan
