Love the Linwood factory diorama. Looks like the next stage on the line would be to add the suitcases! :wink:

To make it similar to the one in Glasgow you will have to sit on the engine lid to match the one on display. A sore point with me as I raised the issue with the Museum Curator many years ago with regards to the state of the body work of the Imp on display as the No1 Mk1. I also offered to help make it look better but his response was that he preferred to show the vehicles in the same condition as they were received. An attitude which obviously remains to this day and the sole reason I would not offer my Dunbartonshire Police Imp for display in its 'Home' Museum.

Dan, I enjoy seeing your collection of Imps grow with all the various scenarios you present them in. Prior to instigating the production of various Lledo/Vanguard Imp models I too made models of my Dunbartonshire Police Imp as shown in various scales over the winter months years back.

Yes Tim an easy fix which was not allowed by the Curator at the time albeit it would still require a few creases ironed out also. Missing trim and boot lid handle were also pointed out at the time. But what finished my conversation with the Curator was when I asked why the drip tray was under the front of the car. His arrogant reply was .......Yes you guessed it "it was to catch the oil drips from the engine naturally". Hopefully common sense and a knowledge of where an Imp Engine is located may prevail and as I left the Museum the tray was quickly being placed under the rear of the car.

Dan I own and built the actual Dunbartonshire Police Imp which is a replica car containing all the original equipment from the actual cars. The photograph which I posted shows the models I made from old corgi imp cars I had with the addition of model accessories and hand built parts. The smaller set used the autosculpt imps sold by the Imp Club which I converted to make the police imps with handmade accessories and parts. The attached photograph shows a larger remote control version in which I used the imp shell available from a model company with handmade accessories and parts. As stated earlier I was involved with Lledo/Vanguard in getting the Fraser Imp, and Pinky and Perky set and other imp models manufactured. McPherson Models an independent one man company did make a small issue of the model of my police imp but the company based it on a code 3 model. Mike

Hi Dan,
I have just bought a copy of the Model Collector which you advertised. An interesting read from Alex Cameron, Scotland. It was interesting to see the ashtray as I have one similar which I purchased about ten years ago. Do you have contact details for Alex as I could give him info on the subject of the ashtray. Mike

Wonderful finding. Early registration number too. Does the DVLA have a record?
Same colour as two of my Imps, the first (bought 1967, dead since long) and third (bought 1971 and still with me).
