Last of a series of limited-edition sports cars built by the Turin-based Carrozzeria Intermeccanica, the Indra is a real rarity. An Italian/American hybrid, the car was styled by Franco Scaglioni, hand-built entirely from steel in Italy, and powered by a Chevrolet Corvette 327ci (5.4-litre) V8 engine. 

Number '25' of only 27 fastback coupés built, this example was delivered new in Italy and subsequently belonged to owners in Switzerland and France before coming to its present UK owner in 2016. The car remains un-restored, although repainted from its original Antilli Verde (mid green) to red and fitted with 15" wheels (original 14" spare retained). Always well maintained, this car has been spared the 'upgrades' that detract from other examples. It retains its original Chevrolet V8 engine and TH400 automatic transmission, which provide for both relaxed high-speed cruising and brisk acceleration in the best Gran Turismo tradition. Indeed, the owners have enjoyed using this car for continental touring, finding it surprisingly practical, reliable, and immense fun. Equipped with power steering, power disc brakes, electric windows, and air conditioning, it is a very modern feeling package. 

'25' was featured in the June 2018 edition of Auto Italia (copy available), receiving a highly positive write-up, and whenever shown has been much admired. The previous owner resided in France where the car was registered until 2016. Copies of the lapsed French registration are in the history file together with a UK V5C Registration Certificate, UK MoT to March 2019 (no longer required), and receipts for maintenance and parts through the previous 7-8 years of ownership. A 2013 copy of Auto Collector (featuring this car) and a copy of Paula Reisner's definitive book on the marque ('Intermeccanica – The Story of the Prancing Bull') are included in the sale.
