Brilliant little cars! I used to love watching some folks, with fully kitted-out coupes, racing them at the Bispham Sprints, nr Blackpool.

They looked a lot like this one :



They were little beasts

Random question - I sold a Team Hartwell (imp tuners in the 60s) lighter on ebay a little while back, wasn't you that bought it by any chance? as I remember the guy was in Northampton.

Hi all it's Chris here dad has left me to pick out some photos for everyone, sorry but there's a few...
These are some photos from when I replaced the rear arches, the arch was cut out, inner repaired, repair panel cut out slightly large and then edge joggled so the panel fits flush and makes for easier cleaner welding. Most of the bottom 6 inches of the car needed welding so there was a lot of work involved but it was good fun and also a great learning experience.







Here are a few photos of what my car looked like before I took it off the road for a second rebuild, this time down to a rolling chassis.




And two photos of the Imp on the day I bought it as a completely standard car.



And finally a few of the others i've put my mark on since being able to insure bigger toys.






Cheers
