If you have ever
searched the Internet for Italia or Intermeccanica websites, then you know
they are almost nonexistent. Yet, because of what I do for a living as well
as for personal enjoyment, I have met many fine people from all over the
world who share an interest in these beautiful Italian automobiles. This
website has been designed to provide comprehensive access to aftermarket and
replacement parts and accessories for these rare and beautiful automobiles.
Beyond that, the site exists also as a place where lovers of the Italia,
Apollo, Griffith, Omega, Torino, and Indra can meet to share information and swap
stories.
As someone with a
strong interest and depth of experience in the restoration of classic cars,
I quickly was drawn into the fold of Intermeccanica enthusiasts, and soon
began my own journey of discovery, with its triumph and woe, all wrapped tightly around a certain red Italia that in the
past several years has gone through a virtual rebirth. Some
might call this seemingly endless work-in-progress an obsession with the
details, but in its own way it has been a life-affirming experience for me.
You can read about
this restoration in what what I refer to as "The
Never Ending Story" by clicking here. Those of you with similar tales to tell are welcome
to email us your own stories and we will be pleased to add
them to our website.
Be sure to let us
hear from you if you would like to send photos and information about your
car, or car shows that you have attended. We have a series of photo
galleries on this website and are always looking for additional material for
them. If you send us digital photographs with accompanying text details,
we'll do our best to make
sure that your photos have a place on our website. If you're sending photos
of your car, of particular interest would
be any special features that it might have, such as factory dual-quad carbs or other exotic elements.
Send your photos and text to us at this email address:
info@italiareproductions.com.
Please be sure to include your name and
address, or email address.
Those of you who
would like to send us stories, letters or your commentary on any subject related
to Italia, Apollo or any other Intermeccanica cars, please use our
Feedback page. We
have an area on this website dedicated to stories and
correspondence and your submissions will be posted there.
In addition,
Italia Reproductions welcomes any ideas about utilizing this website to help
organize a club or information center focused on Intermeccanica car
enthusiasts.
There aren't a whole lot of us around but what we lack in numbers we make up
for in sheer dedication to some of the finest examples of innovative
automobile design of the latter decades of the 20th century.
With warm regards,
John Thomas Fortney
