50 YEARS OF INTERMECCANICA HISTORY VIDEO

Check out parts 1 to 4 of this fantastic series of YouTube videos of Paula Reisner talking about Intermeccanica.






New! Intermeccanica – The Story of the Prancing Bull
By Andrew McCredie and Paula Reisner

From modest beginnings based in the automotive mecca of Turin, Italy throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, Intermeccanica conceived, designed and produced a dozen different models that shook the motoring world and went on to find homes in museums and collections from Europe to the United States to Japan. Most notable of these models are the Apollo, the Italia and the Indra.
From there it was on to California, where Reisner revolutionised the Porsche replicar market with his groundbreaking fibreglass Speedster design, followed by the Roadster RS, which the company continues to produce at its Vancouver, BC, Canada headquarters.
Along the way, Reisner and Intermeccanica dealt with, and in one case sued, the largest automotive manufacturers in the world, all the while maintaining an independent streak and maverick spirit that would come to define the man and his company. More info.
