Thanks to all for the replies. I was unaware there were two Intermeccanica companies. will research this online. The car I was thinking of purchasing now has a pending sale and will have to keep looking. I was interested in any upgrades or improvements in frame, suspension, brakes etc over the years of production from 1980-2022 of the IM, and also areas to look at in evaluating an older IM. The market right now is horrible for a buyer. I had an old CMC from the 90's with a 1776 engine., VW pan and traded it twenty years ago for a racing motorcycle that was worth around 9K. Very sound and good looking car. today it looks like would go for around 30k. all the best. david
