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. :lol: Mum says its a holiday in Wales. Long hot summer of '76.

Just married - nearly (the green Imp was the groom's car which is why it doesn't have ribbons)

Edit - I say nearly as the service was still in progress at this point. Bride & groom left in a Series 1 Minx
