  We detected the second historical outburst of the 1920 nova IM Nor. Accurate
astrometry of the outbursting object revealed the true quiescent counterpart
having a magnitude of R=17.0 mag and B=18.0 mag. We show that the quiescent
counterpart shows a noticeable variation. From the comparison of light curves
and spectroscopic signatures, we propose that IM Nor and CI Aql comprise a new
class of recurrent novae bearing some characteristics similar to those of
classical novae. We interpret that the noticeable quiescent variation can be a
result of either high orbital inclination, which may be also responsible for
the low quiescent brightness, or the presence of high/low states. If the second
possibility is confirmed by future observations, IM Nor becomes the first
recurrent nova showing state changes in quiescence. Such state changes may
provide a missing link between recurrent novae and supersoft X-ray sources.
