I know the guy alright, if anyone is lookin for his number PM me and I'll pass it on. I saw those cars years ago parked in the field behind his house, I see they're pulled out into the yard now. I'm not sure what kind of condition they're in though.

Ocassionally I see two sunbeam stilettos, both coupes, one is fitted with a rollcage in it and the other one doesnt appear to have any bumpers in the Ballincollig area in Cork. Both are roadworthy and seen on the road sometimes. I think they may be an every day car for someone. There used to be two hillman imps parked on the South Terrace in Cork but they have disappeared (infact fell apart over the years).

.......ohh they are totally different, dont even look alike, no two components the same, not really sure why one company was allowed to use the name IMP !
