The "professional" camera mount moving slightly actually worked, gives the impression of sitting in the passenger seat trying to keep your head steady on and off throttle. Nice job, thank you.
Reminisant of my passenger ride in James Ibbotson`s Imp the other month at Curborough. with the in car footage..Thinking the imp was going to roll as it was far beyond my scope of hitting the corners i leaned into them like they do on a Motorcycle sidecar ..Loved it and enjoyed the video also.
You can always tell a good mechanic by the tidyness of his garage, I worked for a bloke once who went mental when I tidied up, mine's not much better. looks remarkably like 3 sisters to me. Car looks and goes the bollocks. I'm due another Imp I think.
I'm sure you did the professional camera mount to wind me up 😂 - your wooden plywood wheels for the win! Engine sounds absolutely terrific, well done 👋
Great vid great drive, don't know what all the fuss was about imps much nicer than a mini if you knew how to change the coolant every year let's face it it's not rocket science flush out the sludge and put a bit of anti freeze in no problems
Nothing beats the throaty rasp of a tuned carbed engine. Mega build, and the lift on that camshaft, absolutely awesome 👌
Thank you!
JONESEY! 😎 Great video. Brilliant to see you driving the race car again. That engine... ❤ I miss my Imp!

Engine & suspension setup are in harmony there , she's a little ripper , great work & excellent entertainment 👏 👍 👌
Thanks, wonderfully balanced car as standard!
Great channel and info mate. I owned a Sunbeam Imp in NZ in the80's. Fond memories.
Thanks 👍
Imps are such fun to drive (sorted ones I mean, not the standard suspension settings!) That engine looks and sounds a dream, well done mate.
Thanks, yes always enjoy a blast in the imp, so easy to control!
That sound's awesome! And it moves pretty fast too! Nice project!
thanks could always be better 🏁
Sounds awesome! A Mini beater for sure! 😉Makes me wish I didn't sell my 64.
Great job that engine sounds smooth and strong right through rev range
Wow another fantastic engine keep up the good work
Thank you very much!

I can see why you'd be happy with that, the way that picks up RPM sounds more like a 4 cylinder bike engine 👌

That will take some beating, power all the way up.

Sweeeeeeet!

Thank you, agreed to advanced for the average driveway maintenance man back then!
