    Bought it in Hull in the UK during the summer had a full years MOT. Drove it the 200+ miles to holyhead... Motors along at 60 not a bother temp gauge stayed nice n steady! (a 23 year old in a hoody gets funny looks driving an imp!)

    it's in storage till the summer so i can re-reg it and can sort out my insurance.

    Was over at the imp club weekend during the summer before i bought it, some really nice cars there. My father knows Rosemany Smith through rallying. he drove imps for years.

    Had an old imp that i learned to drive in when i was young... the body was beyond repair, the engine never gave any trouble even at 13 or 14 i could take it out to service. the advantage of alloy blocks!
