njmlondon 572 Posted February 28, 2017 I managed to pick up an Avante Black Special this weekend and have decided to sell or trade my NIB Avante 2011 re-re. Would prefer to trade possible. Very interested in a re-re Bruiser or Mountain Rider. I have also been after a Fighting Buggy for a while. Open to other ideas though so do get in touch if you are looking for an Avante. 1 Share this post Link to post

I wouldn't recommend the avante anyway unless you arent driving it. As awesome as it looks it is junk imo, i had the original. I would love an egress, but that is fragile too. I just finished my beetle, so maybe in a few months. Share this post Link to post

Well actually I may well need a kidney after the last weekend. Is it lightly used? On 2/28/2017 at 5:21 PM, tamiya3speed said: England only? No happy to post anywhere at cost.

I guess £425 but the moment cash hits my Paypal my wife might spend it so prefer to keep my assets in Tamiya rather than cash format! Share this post Link to post

njmlondon 572 Posted March 4, 2017 So I had the house to myself last night and thought I would have a look at the Avante again... And before I could stop myself I had the parts out, the instructions open and I started building this beauty. Thanks for all of the offers but in the end I could not resist building it so this is now off the market. 1 Share this post Link to post

The owner's brother was selling a few pieces from his collection and I was just in the right place at the right time (for once!). Share this post Link to post
