Gotta keep busy.
Don't have to wonder what the 'business' of the shop will be.
I couldn't get Alan's link to work so got onto Facebook and searched for "Reisner Carrozzeria" and got to his page.

Looks a lot like his old shop when he first got started in Vancouver.
Go, HENRY!
Guess sitting down for a coffee break is discouraged?
Maybe, but in the other photos there's a fridge and what looks like a Cappuccino machine..... I could live with that.

The Reisners have a family villa in Italy. I think Henry enjoys a good coffee...
Why are these posters being so coy about what Henry is up to now? I wish him nothing but the best but would sure like to know where he is going.

Agreed. There's "creating a buzz", and then there's "a maddening lack of information".
Who's being coy? None of us know what is going on, but - based on the photos - I assume he is definitely going to be servicing and repairing IMs in his area, perhaps even farther abroad. It looks like he has a supply of spare parts, etc. so that's encouraging.
I told him I'd consider bringing mine in for an oil change, but it's a little bit of a hike.
We could always convey from the Ottawa area...
Maybe it's just a 356/VW repair shop

Henry.
I'm assuming he's providing parts and support for Intermeccanica vehicles, but nobody's ever said that. The shop is open, I'd like to know what it is. I need some parts.
there is a time to retire and let go of things....I did mine 15 yrs. ago after a small stroke, recovered and its been great since..had some real estate investments,sold them and just enjoying life now...75 and still cutting firewood,VA health 100%, and waiting for the next big adventure.:}

Henry is 60 or thereabouts. Not everybody wants to “retire and let go” at that age. I don’t. Maybe in 5 years I will, maybe not. It’s possible to have fun at work.
Regardless, this seems to be Henry’s “next big adventure”. I wish him well… whatever it is that he’s doing.

Maybe it’s just his “hang.” My older brother’s best friend has a “shop” like that that’s basically his man cave. He has a couple of cars and his Harley there, an apt upstairs, and since he rebuilt his IMS failed 911, I don’t think he’s used his lift for anything but oil changes.
It’s where he hangs for “alone time.”

AT 72 I'm still trying to let go, if it's in your blood it's.... onward and upward !

@Stan Galat According to Henry, he is " providing support for Intermeccanica customers and prospective owners at this time".
So, now you can order the parts you need.
Good to know .

Excellent.
That was a concept car built by Frank Reisner, based on a 1965 notchback Mustang, for the J Walter Thompson advertising agency.
It turned out to be a one off, as they say.
I remember reading about it myself.
Is that one he will service at his new shop?
I am sure Henry would love to - his dad really did some interesting vehicles.
