It wasn't just the finish that was special. The camera - as well as the unique-to-the-camera 35mm Summilux - was actually milled from billets of Stainless Steel which, in itself, is an unusual yet similarly extraordinary decision to have made. As mentioned several posts back I do regret not having snaffled one particular example but in all seriousness - and stupidly considering what I now know - the lack of strap lugs was (for me) the deal-breaker. Crazy 'mistake'. On the upside, however, I already owned an example of the utterly peerless (IMHO) M-D Typ-262 so the story isn't all Doom'n'Gloom. Additionally if I do hanker after that woe-begotten Strap-Lug-Less experience I have my 1930 Leica 1(a) to 1(c) conversion which proffers the chance to drop a lug-less camera at any moment... Back on-topic; I like the new challenge car and it rings a bell fairly loudly but at the moment I'm just a little bit deaf... Philip. I used mine without case a strap a lot, and with the half case. I was concerned about use damage to the half case, so I got an extra one from Leica. I loved the stainless finish and the lens etc, and the original price wasn’t actually too bad (if yoyu priced the camera and lens separately, the premium was manageable); what pushed me over the edge was two things - inside, it was an M(240) albeit simplified down, and I never liked the 35 Summilux (FLE). So, it went. @NigelG I don’t think Trevor was involved in this car. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G The alloys have a definite air of 1960's Campagnolo offerings and, if so, the car is probably Italian so what about some low-volume sportster like an OSCA 1050 Coupe (although I don't think the 1050 had those as standard so perhaps not!)?

ramarren Posted October 8, 2023 Share #20690 Posted October 8, 2023 @Fulvia Coupé: Yes, there are similarities, but the shape of the rear window and fender are wrong, not to mention the door latch hardware and wheel. Hmm. I know I've seen a car like this before but I cannot place it at present. I want to say Iso but I doubt that's correct. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernstk Posted October 8, 2023 Share #20692 Posted October 8, 2023 Not an Iso or a Fiat. The car was a collaboration between Italy and Germany.

This looks to be a special version of the Indra coupé as best I can figure it, penned by Scaglione. It's an unusual looking body, more on the lines of the Mureno design than most anything else in his portfolio. Scaglione's most famous and most brilliant design, to me, was the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale... G 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernstk Posted October 9, 2023 Share #20694 Posted October 9, 2023 Well done! There were 3 versions of the Indra: a fastback coupe, a convertible and this one, the notch-back coupe. It was built on Opel running gear from the Senator and had the option of a GM V8. They were sold and serviced via Opel dealerships in Germany. I have a bit of a personal connection with an Indra. In 1973 we were driving through Germany as part of a family holiday. We stopped at an Opel garage for fuel, just outside Munich. I got out to stretch my legs and there, in the service bay area of the garage was a white Indra. At that time, I thought I could identify almost every car in the world but I had no idea what this was, nor why something so exotic was being serviced by an Opel garage. It wasn't until 10 years later (no internet, remember) that I found a magazine article and all was revealed. Back to you! Ernst Welcome, dear visitor!

ramarren Posted October 10, 2023 Share #20695 Posted October 10, 2023 Very interesting car! This 'notch-back' coupe has an odd set of lines, depending on the perspective and viewpoint. There's a little bit of Lancia Fulvia in there, a little bit of Volvo P1800, and a little bit of some other cars from the period. Truly different. Ah, I have to rum up another car now. I have a couple of interesting puzzle cars, if I may be so bold as to use photos that I didn't make myself. What do y'all think? G 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels are common with the FIAT Dino. Had I seen the 'front-up-to-the-B-pillar' of the Indra in profile I would, without doubt, have started to think along the lines (pun) of a prototype TVR 280 Tasmin / hard-top 420 SEAC. As you say, ramarren, a very interesting car! Might I ask, Ernst, where the car was photographed? Philip. Edited October 10, 2023 by pippy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted October 10, 2023 Share #20697 Posted October 10, 2023 I got thrown by the door handles - there seem to be not only 3 body styles but also 3 sorts of handles : standard chrome external arched button push handles, inset chrome “flap” handles and these rather lovely minimalist versions which I hadn’t come across before… 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frontal view is also reminiscent of a Corvette. The wheels are by Cromodora, I believe. The photo is of a car that is/was for sale in the UK but I didn't take it. Apologies, I hadn't realised that I should have taken the photo that was submitted. Ernst 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
