Me next to the first car I ever went in. My uncle picked me up from the hospital in his Singer Chamois. So the Imp obsession is his fault. Mum says its a holiday in Wales. Long hot summer of '76.

Moving on from the last post 20 years on from GFX 888N I now own the car that I aspired to all those years ago:
An original 1 previous owner car which I got back on the road for the first time since 1982 after a full nut and bolt resto
