Back to back: Indra Spider or Ghibli Spyder?

• 

With Easter not far away now, we simply had to pick out this flashy duo in Giallo Fly from Coys’ Essen sale, held on the 8th of April at the German classic car show. The auctioneers have a massive amount of cars for sale, of which two Allards may be our own favourites, but we’re not going for these here and now. Over to the Intermeccanica Indra. It is in fact a car we drove a couple of years ago and although it needed a little bit of tlc then, it was a car to fall in love with easily. A 1972 example and one of just 60 Spiders built, this one comes with the GM six-in-line, good for 190 bhp. Estimate €75- to €85,000. Find more about it here.

The Ghibli Spyder, also in the same hue, making it even more ideal for everyone who wishes to remain anything but anonymous, definitely has much of its looks in common with the Indra. Most people will find it at least as intriguing. Prettier? Perhaps. Or perhaps not? Maserati produced 125 Ghibli Spyders, of which this is not one. It was a coupe that received a top-chop and comes with Austrian plates. Oh and matching numbers and panel gaps that have to be seen to be believed, according to the auctioneers. It’s not a steal, though. What’s more: the estimated price is almost four times that of the Indra: €280- to €320,000 See more about it here. We wouldn’t have to wait long to make a decision between the two, but what do you think?
