are you missing some keys by chance ?

Here's mine...no the suspension isn't knackered before you ask ;D
This thread has so many great cars I feel guilty for not giving respect to each one, you get a car like this and it's excellence is diluted by the others so the poor owner doesn't receive the deserved kudos.Lovely Merc.
Heh thanks for caring!
It's had a lot of work done to keep it roadworthy, (and some to make it go up and down which is obviously pointless but quite fun) and a few tweaks to make it a reliable daily driver (electronic ignition kit). Not in the same league as most of the cars here, but it's not supposed to be it's just a fun and quite practical classic. I love it

So what have you done with the suspension? I don't remember them being like that in period.
It's an Accuair kit, which allows you to adjust the ride height. 3 presets which you can set to whatever height you wish, then adjustment on each corner so you can play with it as much as you like. Original suspension is removed and air bags installed, the arches trimmed inside so the wheel can turn inside the arch at lower heights. I can drive it at classic height, lower it or drop it right to the floor (only when parked obviously).The car needed substantial welding and metalwork on the floor and sills and as it was so far from mint I decided to have some fun with it. Still rides very nicely!!

My Intermeccanica Torino (Italia) is finally finished after almost 2 years of working every spare moment on it and today the weather cooperated and I took it out for a few photographs.
I thought it would be fun to compare some similar "before and after" shots of the car
Lovely, didn't Jack Griffith have a hand in the birth of these cars as the Griffith 600, or was that another intermechanica car?

The Griffith 600 was essentially the first incarnation of this car but was powered by a Plymouth 273 V8 as Ford would not supply Jack with the requested 289 hipo V8. Less than half a dozen 600's were produced.After considerable thought we've now decided to consign our Torino Italia to Silverstone classic auction and concentrate on our Intermeccanica Indra fastback. It will be interesting to see what kind of market there is here for such a car.
