Kess Intermeccanica Italia Spider 1969 - Roof Open - Silver 1:43 model car

Kess 1:43 resin model of the 1969 Intermeccanica Italia Spider with the roof open in silver. The Intermeccanica Spider represented two worlds colliding. Designed by Franco Scaglione, the car was noted for styling that blended both Ferrari and Corvette elements, with its long bonnet, low windscreen, and muscular rear end. Powered by a Ford V8 engine, it could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just under 6.5 seconds. While its speed couldn't be faulted, it was felt that the chassis was too soft and that it was more suited to 'boulevard cruising' than being thrashed around more sinuous roadways.
