I have reprints of two articles that Avant Motors used for promotional hand outs.

First is an article from the August, 1966 issue of Road & Track Magazine, a road test of the 1966 Avanti.

They state that the Avanti  gets a 30 mile road test.

The second article is from the September, 1972 issue of Quality Management & Engineering.

They state that the Avanti gets road tested between 150 & 250 miles.

Avanti Newsletter #30, 1976 article has 250 miles.

Looks like Dan Booth ends all the confusion.
