This prototype Avanti appeared in some of the
earliest promotional photos distributed to publications. The name plate shown here
(to the right of the passenger side headlight) is not the
one used on the production Avanti. An enlarged version is
shown below. This early version of the car also shows a non-production,
solid color, leather interior. A curious feature
of more than one early pre-production article is the inclusion of photographs with Avantis that have
this attractive but unfamiliar logo attached to the body. The logo shown is visible on a car on the first
page of the article from the August, 1962 Sports Car World. The same photo is included in the article from a 1963 issue
of World's Fastest Sports Cars.
