	Love that. Still got my Imp tuning books and factory manuals. I'll definitely have another one day, such a fun drive.

Would love an imp at some point, it's deffo on my hit list! Why thank you Sir , Imps are getting harder to find in decent condition especially the Vans and Huskys so if you find a half decent one id go for it , prices are on the rise and they wont get any cheaper thats for sure . A few pics of it on a tour of S. Wales with a load of other Imps last weekend . event is a yearly meeting called the Welsh Wicked Weekend or WWW for short .

	Long time no update. This thing continues to give stirling service and apart from a new battery the other week its been utterly reliable . I have done a few tiny jobs , mainly new K @ N filters for the Triumph Spitfire SUs its got fitted , they needed richening up after fitting but it didnt take long to get it running lovely on these filters . Also labeled up the fuse boxes i wired in so i don't forget what does what. Thanks for looking

	This continues ever on being fairly reliable - it did blow its inlet manifold gasket the other day which caused it to run on three . I had a mild Oh curse word its popped a valve so was quite relieved it was just the gasket which was changed the same day - it passed the MOT last month so theres another year of happy motoring to come . Some pics for you all seeing as you all love pics

	Picked up a genuine factory optional extra Roof rack for this tother day . It needs re-zinc plating as its quite tatty but being as its 50 years old theres no surprise . Trial fitted to make sure it was what i thought it was as i went on a brochure pic . Once re-plated i can then use it for carting even more tat and general rubbish about thanks for looking

	I do love a roof rack, I take it that's been on the shopping list since 1992 then? Good find.

Just about - saw them on a brochure and thought " yeh one of these would be great " then i quickly realised they were made of fresh Dodo eggs and unicorn horns .Ive only ever seen this one and one other - whoever made them for Rootes did a car version and this wider one . Thanks for looking and commenting

	I don't think they even did one for my Datsun, I'd get one for every old car I've owned if I could find them. Beautiful Commer by the way, I thoroughly approve.

	Roof rack put up a bit of a fight but after an hour or so its fully dismembered ready for re-plating
