I came across this when I went to have the Ro80 tested. It belongs to the garage owner who has restored it over a veryy long period.
It is a beaut.

Yes the drive train is pure Imp but the early ones had the high compression engine and they had problems keeping the front wheel on the road. They had to fit the lower compression engine from the Imp Van! _________________ Keep Torqueing,

Nice little car! Is that the model, which Mr. Bean overturns in many of his series?  |

If I am not mistaken, they are VERY rare. I saw a tatty grey one at a show near Sheffield a year or so ago, but have never seen another. |
