1973 Intermeccanica Indra

I photographed this car in one of the public car parks at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2017, and it's the first and so far only one of its kind that I've ever seen.

It's a 1973 Intermeccanica Indra, and there was an information sheet on the dashboard of the car that read as follows:

'The ‘Indra’ is a real rarity and was the last of a series of sexy sports cars built by the Torino based Carozzerria “Intermeccanica”. An Italian/American mongrel, the car was styled by Franco Scaglioni, constructed in Italy and motivated by a powerful American Corvette 327 cubic inch (5.4 litre) V8 engine. This 1973 example is one of the last of only 27 Fastback Coupes built. There were also 60 Convertibles and 40 notch-back Coupes. Originally sold almost exclusively in Germany through the Opel dealer network, most surviving cars have now found their way to collectors worldwide. Our car was sold new in Italy and subsequently passed through owners in Switzerland and France before coming to its present owner. It is believed to be the only example in the UK.'
