Never heard of it before, it was made not far from where I live now!
Found this interesting piece on the web including a photograph of the actual car :o .

Careful there.
The NYMPH drivers are watching, and they are of a sensitive disposition.
See you behind the beer tent at National

Haha ..... Your forum username was abit of a give-away, Colin ! I was actually expecting to get a finger wagging from a pair of locals who have a Nymph each ! But so far they haven't taken my bait :D

Well some maybe : My father was a born and bred Yorkshireman. He'd have said that sort of trait should be restricted to ladies and Southern Softies (like me). :wink:

Hi Guys,

yes its me, Bob Allan, and no I don't usually "do" the Forum, too busy selling spares. You can see why when people start talking about brown paper bags. Not really relevant, huh?

Anyhow thanks for the e-mail Andrew, I look forward to hearing more and of course you're welcome to come to see the car sometime.

Thanks - Bob
Sincerely, Bob (Imp Club Spares)

This may be true. However, it is probably a reflection of ones sense of humour. I for one don't get American humour in the main : the Simpsons is fine, but Friends left me cold. Or is this a suggestion that all post should remain on-topic ? If so, I think the Forum most definitely isn't for you, Bob :D
