Bought by me in 1993 from a number plate dealer!
I bought the plate, and he threw in the car!

Totally rebuilt with one off autojumble finds over 15 years of searching.

A few stray photos in there, ill edit it later

I had to get it finished, so i could rebuild my 912

My first ever car when I was 17 in exactly that colour. I sold it for £10 years later and bought another Imp.

Great job. Car looks fabulous.

Regards
Mike

My oldest friend had 3 in a row starting with an ex Schweps delivery Huskey nan as he worked there. The final one, a Sport, revved to the moon and back. Many happy runs to Santa Pod in the early 70's.
Just magic when working.

Must be a hard car to restore today with parts being hard to find?
