Produced between 1963-1976 by both the Rootes Group and Chrysler Europe the Super Imp was designed as a small economy family car. It was the first British made car with an aluminium block and head and unusually was mounted in the rear of the car. The little car even held an endurance world record driving from New York to LA in 48 hours, 9 minutes and 54 seconds.
With its current owner since 2019, this Imp is original and sat in beige with blue pin stripe and is in useable condition. It has had a new clutch fitted in 2022, a complete set of water hoses, starter motor, battery, fresh water pump and fuel pump as well as five new tyres. The car had previously been stored from 2007-2019 with the previous owner falling ill. Although the shell appears to be solid a couple of the arches could do with some minor restoration work. Mechanically the vendor reports the engine and gearbox to be in good order, but the carburettor could do with a service. The sale includes a current V5 document showing six previous owners and a folder of history, Imp club magazines and a Haynes manual.
Estimate: £4, 500 - £5, 500
