It was one of the first mid-engined supercars from the early 1960s, along with the Lola Mk6 GT. The Ford GT40 and Lamborghini Miura took the idea and improved it.

Lola Mk6 GT, not bad for 1962.

The intermeccanica is more kit car esque, its Mustang 289 running gear, fornt engine, rwd, square tube chassis and very pretty body. The company still exists and now build Porsche 356 and Kubelwagen replicas.

Bizzarini are more exotic and Chevy powered.

Yes I can see the appeal of the Intermeccanica, its very Ferrari in its styling.

There's an Intermeccanica Indra for sale in Germany at the moment:-

Styling reminds me of something - I'm just not sure what.

Not keen on that one, too many straight lines and the wheels look too big!

Bit odd aren't they! Ive got the book about Intermeccanica - The story of the Prancing Bull.
Pretty interesting and has a full build list at the back too.
