That is very cool indeed! 8) Have you any technical data on the Drambuie Imp? Or where could I find some? Purely for droolage, you understand... :wink:

I've never seen that Drambuie one before! always this one I think of, is it the same chassis underneath with a different body?

That was the original Drambuie car #1 built in 1976 - which still holds the Ingliston class lap record at 49.2.

It was originally an Elden Formula Ford chassis which was adapted to take a mid-engine vertical-mounted Chesman engine with Hewland box at the back. Nothing came close.

The Drambuie #2 in the picture was built using a home-made spaceframe.

The last Drambuie Imp was an ex-Tony Bridge Maguire Stiletto.
Bit late to the forum but here is a photo from the day Tony Bridge brought the Maguire Imp to Ingliston and blew everyone away by how quick that little car was:
