Although I like Imps (still have one), I would not like to own such a new example. Too scary to use. As you say, it should be in a museum.
There were lengthy discussions about this car on the Imp Club site forum. It has been available before (a couple of years ago). _________________ a car stops being fun when it becomes an investment |

All you can do really is put it in a museum and others can reference it for restorations.
A few years ago there was a Stag that had only covered a few hundered miles , someone paid circa £30K for it, not sure whether its museum piece or on the road. |

Museum piece in my opinion, its so rare to find an example of any model like this. Its like the opposite of patina and it cant be replicated. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

It's surprising how many of these 'unregistered' cars are around (I say that advisedly as there is some evidence to suggest that this Imp has in fact been previously registered); here's an MGB GT, unregistered, with 40 miles on the clock:
