Default Ratmobile hillman imp

Was looking on eBay at old Hilman imps as my dad used to have one, and I found this!

Absolutely hilarious item description! And only £3600!!

I had an Imp in 1989 !

It was orange, I stripped to build an autograss car but ran out of dosh
Front mount rad, coilovers, some engine mods - it was a Mini beater.
Ahhhh...

I like this bit of the ad:
"But don't think this car hasn't got any warning gadgets on board because it does, take for example the oil warning light, if you have a problem it will start to glow getting brighter and brighter if you choose to carry on you will then hear an audible warning noise (a bit like a loud banging noise) you are now in limp home mode as they call it now, if your stupid enough to continue driving it will automatically shut down and bring the car to a halt, how clever is that? Note if it does go in to automatic shutdown no amount of latte coffee or fancy diagnostic leads will get it running again.

No time wasters or Jokers please
