Thank you for your kind words. My wife & I own a 1969 Intermeccanica Italia Spyder - which has provided not only a source of pride, joy, & pleasure, but also of burning questions to know more about he process that produced this car.
There has been so much conflicting information published about Intermeccanica's products, that I've gone out of my way to collect as many of the original articles as I can find in the hopes of clearing up some of the mis-information and of resolving some questions I am still investigating (like quantities produced, etc.). It's amazing, to me, how that once something that is factually incorrect gets published, it can still live a long life as "the truth" no matter how many articles have been written to refute the misinformation.
I've enjoyed writing some articles here on UCP to correct/improve the record as best I understand it. I hope that anyone having information that can add to the history of Intermeccanica will share it in this forum.
Many of Intermeccanica's records were also lost when they moved their operations from Torino, Italy to California in the mid-1970's, which has contributed to the difficulty in reconstructing the record of their achievements.
Honi soit qui mal y pense
