Mini-Imp

The Mini-Imp http://www.mini-imp.com/ looks like an interesting
project, but it has the scent of something too good to be true.

Does anyone know anything about them?

Thanks,
Curt

Sounds terrible.

Imp - http://www.comp.co.uk/gallery/pics/H...3%20ML1360.jpg

Would you keep the front of the Mini and the back
of the Imp and end up with two engines and no trunk
or vice versa and have no engines and two trunks?

I'll get me coat...

Interestingly, those were the days--when little cars really did get the fuel
economy to which we only aspire today, were a LOT more fun, and an average
owner could readily accomplish most of the maintenance by himself...

I think this is more like what he had in mind: the Mini-Jem.

This was a plastic body on Mini mechanicals - lots of fun,
but SMALLER than a mini and relatively hard to get into.

The Mini was everywhere in the sixties - the choice of debutantes,
boy-racers and the economy minded - a masterpiece!
But the E-type (XKE) was more beautiful than any coupe before or
(probably) since, I think.. Brian W

OOOooopps!!

How did I miss reading the top line.

The little bird received something approaching rave reviews initially, IRRC.

However, I have no idea how it may have stood the test of time, not do I
have any idea of the skill level required of the pilot--and that can be
important.
