That isn't the one that I was referring to, but the answer also applies to that one. I was referring to the Doyne convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to say CORRECT here Gary....although neither of these Avantis are the one I was seeking!....Fact is, I can't find a clear picture of the tail of either of the convertibles (3370& 1582) Can anyone else think of another Avanti ll built without an Avanti script on the deck lid?

Now that I looked up a picture of the Straman convertible, I believe that it has an Avanti nameplate on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gary,...not sure about RQB1582, but it may indeed turn out that the Avanti ll I'm looking for was the only one built without the 'Avanti ll' logo on the deck lid. HINT...it's a VERY early car!
