    I realy like the style of the Indra, much more than the Italia, we had/have one Indra here in Sweden. How many were built?

    Yes Indra, they tend to over heat in hot weather. Small production and little engineering, but good looking!

    I've always been impressed with the vast amount of knowledge that is prevalent in this community. What is considered good reading on the marques that seem to have slipped through the cracks like this one. I dare say my primary focus on exotic cars does not fall with Ferrari, but rather the likes of Bizzarrini, Iso, DeTomaso etc...

    Family in a way...Giotto Bizzarrini was Ferrari's Engineer, and he later designed the Iso Grifo. The DeTomaso Pantera was designed by Ferrari designer, Pininfarina.

    Here's a photo of a 1966 Bizzarrini from a 2007 car show. My car is next to it (in the background)...

    Actually that is completely incorrect, the De Tomaso Pantera was designed by Ghia stylist Tom Tjaarda and Giam Paolo Dallara

    It's a Heritage. About 90 built or so IIRC. Better than many, but square doorhandles?

    Yes, Alejandro De Tomaso owned Ghia at that point, and Pantera designer Tom Tjaarda worked for (De Tomaso owned) Ghia from 01/68 to 10/77.

    Tom Tjaarda also worked for Pininfarina from 09/61 to 11/65, where his Panther (Pantera in Italian) designs were created and property of Pininfarina.

    Hey Steve:
    Looks like GTR, mirrors are HUGE, Astons not nearly as big. HL and black lower center grille look like GT-R too.

    I was thinking Lancia Flavia but the crease in the rear window confuses me, and the turn signals up front... anyone know?
