Frame VW vs Tube, Intermeccanica

FM Former Member
Hi, Great site, I have looked for a speedster for a few months now and it seems I have more questions now than when I started.
1 When Intermeccanica stoped using tube frames what year was that?
2 Did they Improve the VW pan for stifness in the last years of the VW pan's?
3 I am looking at a car built by Intermeccnica Just befor they went to tube frames did they have a good product then?
Thanks for your help Bob SoCa.

Hi Bob: IM moved to tube frames in about 1986. They made some before this but the majority after 86 were all tubes. I have an 84 that I have spent a lot of time refining it and love it. Keep in mind that any car you look at will be a minimum of 20 years old so its condition will largely dependant on who has taken care of it.
