Been thinking ......
Way back in 2001 I started getting into Imps
My dad had worked at Linwood before defecting to BMC Bathgate
And had a few in Scotland and in Ireland when we lived in Dublin in the early 80’s
My first a Californian sprint car was my first learner classic , made contacts and moved on to the Fraser race car and a few more .
Why the post ?
Just been thinking that when I first started all this 20 years ago
Finding those rare bits were MUCH easier than now .
And prices are triple what they once were.
Good for overall car values of course
But my point is , every time I embark on another full restoration with all my favourite specialists (and friends) it gets harder !
Unless destitute, think this one will now be a keeper ?
And maybe one day a race car .......
