I have the Full build photos

There are 10 or so Imps now racing in the Pre 66 Classic Touring Car series and you won't find a friendlier club or bunch of fellow racers!. TheImps are proving ever more popular and competitive in the series and an Imp has yet again won the overall Pre 66 championship this year beating the far more expensive Minis, Anglias, Lotus Cortina's and Muscle cars , excelling in wet and dry conditions with its exceptional exhilarating rear engine and rear wheel drive and lightweight free reving engines in the up to 1000 cc class ( bigger engines allowed in other series)

This car is ready to race minus engine and gearbox so you can choose your engine / gearbox to suit your chosen race series ( CTCRC / HSCC / Swinging Sixties etc, fit the engine and gearbox and its all ready to go!
