Nice car! Here's some information about the Apollo GT and here is an interesting story about the car from The love bug movie :) But the fact is that the car in the movie was a Apollo 5000GT from 1965

As Aero2000 says, the above car is in fact an Appollo 5000GT. The following link gives more detail - the car was purchased via E Bay in 2004 and underwent a full restoration:

The link supplied by Aero does not provide any information. The following Wikipedia link on Intermeccanica provides some information on the car, but also contains many inaccuracies and omissions.
