I saw it in a recent Retropower vid, and thought 'is it still there?' Mind you the same applied to a few cars that seem to have taken up permanent residency!

Looks great, was it driving?

Hi All,

I realised I hadn't put many pictures of the completed car on the forum so while it was out of the garage the other day, Nigel stringer took a few photographs.

The car has been at home for a few months now but due to various other things hasn't had much use. When it has been out thought it has been very loud, very quick and very exciting.

My imp van has made it all the way to Australia so for the first time since I was 16 I am down to one imp.

There are plans for more changes to the Greetham in the coming months as we look to improve it further but the big decision has been made that there will be no more imps. I have started selling off the spares I have gathered over the last 33 years and 300+ imps as there is very little that actually fits my car anymore.

I am looking forward to finally bringing it to the National next year and hopefully having a run round Goodwood in it.

Cheers

Darren

Darren, thanks for the images. This was one of the best builds I have ever watched. Totally love the attention to detail and in many cases innovation.
