RE: Help needed...
Hello Gill
Again I'm asking this...

I really need to know the manufacturing dates of MkII Imps. I mean, that most important thing is to know what chassis numbers were manufactured during 1965 (and also 1966 would be useful).
The point is, that if the Historic car is manufactured before 1.1.1966, it can have a FIA identity form and that allows to entry to international competitions. According to Imp, this means that chassis numbers beginning as B412... B419... and B442... can be listed as 'Rallye' if they are manufactured before 1.1.1965. In fact, I have found one MkII chassis, numbered as B412009833, and I think that is -65 manufactured, but I must proove that! (We follow exactly the FIA appendix K).
Have there been any articles in Impression?

This is also 'major question', because I am now a member of the Historic workgroup, stated by the AKK (local RAC), and also I am a contact person in questions about historic rally/race Imps.

Regards,
Petteri

Hello Petteri,

I know that Richard Sozanski has a manufacturing list of all Imps (or allmost all). He found the manufacturing dates for my Imps (well at least the week in which it was manufactured).
Just have a look in Impressions, his address and phone number are in there.

Hope this helps
