Well, I guess we will see where Henry ends up next.  Whatever he chooses to do, he will have a lot of support from a lot of people.

I guess my IM6 will be my last Intermeccanica, and I'm glad I had it built when I did.  My time working with Henry was wonderful, and we shared a vision that got turned into a fantastic reality.

With apologies to current builders, I doubt we will see any replicas as good as these again.

I'm not so sure about the last statement.

Henry's cars were better in 2005 (when mine was built) than they were in 1990, and I'd suspect your car (built 10 years after mine) was better than the one I got.

I know that Greg's cars get better every year and with every successive improvement, and Carey's cars are in an entirely different league than they were even 10 years ago.

The hobby is moving forward. This is a blow to everybody, but it creates even more space for the quality builders in the US to stake out more and more of the high end of the replica business.

I believe that they will rise to the challenge. I believe this will be their finest hour.
