mfg Posted September 17, 2018 Report Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) So what's so special about Avanti ll RQA0051? Edited September 18, 2018 by mfg
r1lark Posted September 18, 2018 Report Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) It didn't exist? There would have been an Avanti serialed as RQA 0051, however. (4 digits in the serial number, similar to RQA 0049 plate picture below) Edited September 18, 2018 by r1lark
mfg Posted September 18, 2018 Author Report Posted September 18, 2018 I eliminated the other '0' for brevity, however, I agree with you that it really should be there!....Ed goofed! Now, to answer the question.................................
mfg Posted September 25, 2018 Author Report Posted September 25, 2018 No other thoughts here? HINT.....this trivia question somewhat 'ties in' with the one about RQA0047
NHcamper Posted September 26, 2018 Report Posted September 26, 2018 Promotional cars featured in advertising material.
silverstude Posted September 26, 2018 Report Posted September 26, 2018 RQA-0051 Body existed / RQ-4578 Tell us again why this car wasn't built?

(although, at the time these two Avanti ll's were considered to be special ....but not because there was anything special about them!)
mfg Posted October 2, 2018 Author Report Posted October 2, 2018 Throwing in the towel on this trivia question?

Just realized this must be meant for me. When Ed first posted this, the question was "So what's so special about Avanti ll RQA051?" So my tongue-in-cheek answer was it RQA051 didn't exist (but of course RQA0051 did). Ed knew I was just messing with him.

mfg Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Posted October 8, 2018 ANSWER.....It was the first Avanti ll to be sold outside of North America! (Spain)
