Colin Rooney (in the middle) rebuilt these three Imps, two of them in the Masterclass of Imp 09, meaning they won their class at Imp 08. They all won prizes again.

Masterbuilder Colin Rooney restored a 1963 Mark 1. He finished it just in time to take it to The Imp Club National Weekend - Imp08.

Many of us were very surprised when it did not win a prize in the concours d'elegance of National Weekend 08. The Husky of Colin's brother-in-law, that is also one of Colin's many fine examples, was voted the best Husky there. And the 1st and 2nd best Californians were also Imps that Colin built. His workmanship is immaculate.
