Re: 2013 IMP 50 ans
There was a thread about the ice cream van, Dan, but I didn't notice the other Imp models on eBay. Mind you, I don't tend to notice the model Imps much; it's more the full-size ones that catch my eye.
And I'll have a 99 after Peter, please!

Your doubts are unfounded Mr Nun many a fast Imp has raced at Cowdenbeath Track I believe this model is based on one of them.

Re: 2013 IMP 50 ans
Some places banned imps as they were too fast round the track, so they claimed they were dangerous because of the rear engine. Several imps have been in banger races though.

Re: 2013 IMP 50 ans
Imps ran in the Hot Rods class a non contact formula - they did not have the heavy ironwork of the stockcars Formula 2 cars etc - they were closer to "proper" race car.

Re: 2013 IMP 50 ans
There are some good video's on there, I was a regular spectator at Hednesford Hills Raceway in Birmingham. Tom Laffey was one of the locals but loved it when George Polley visited in his Anglia along with Barry Leebks974c wrote:Imps ran in the Hot Rods class a non contact formula - they did not have the heavy ironwork of the stockcars Formula 2 cars etc - they were closer to "proper" race car.
