Wow took a bad front end hit.  Would love to see a shrunk down fiberglass version on Miata chassis. Friend of mine in NJ had a '67 British racing green coupe back in 1971.

I have always loved those and asked Henry a couple of years back if he had any plans to resurrect them.  He was a bit cagey, but it was obvious he had something in the works.  That might be worth me robbing a bank for.

Love this car.  Have never seen one in the flesh ... (that I can remember).  But then, I am even older than Lane. 

ANY PICS OF WHAT THE ORIGINAL LOOKED LIKE?

That IS an original.  When Henry's father started Intermeccanica, they produced Italian/American hybrids, that is Italian cars with American drive trains.  The Italia (shown) is beautiful in both coupe and roadster forms.  Look at this one:

WOW VERY NICE LANE

THANKS

I was lucky enough to see one this year - the yellow one in Henry's webpage.  In fact, I took that photograph.  They are quite beautiful 'in person', and I'm sure the owner of the one being restored will be very happy with the finished product.

Talk about having a rare car...

 

Here are a couple more shots I took.

There is a company in Washington that makes a shrunk down version of this for the Miata. Look up Simpson Design.
