On Imp Tuning
Dear Sir,
Checking back on the February issue of 'Cars and Car Conversions', I noticed a very informative article on 'Tuning the Imp', and on page 470 a list of firms offering special equipment, without mentioning our name, whereas on page 465, under review of the stands at the Racing Car Show, mention is made of our 998 c.c. Imp engine.
To put the whole matter into perspective, we were the very first firm to offer specialised equipment for the Imp in September 1963, the first firm to have their tuned car tested at M.I.R.A. by Rootes Competition Department, and thereafter to be recommended by the Group to customers, Overseas Agents, Distributors and Rootes Inc. of North America, supplying probably more than 100 sets throughout the Group and its associates. Many successes in racing have been achieved Overseas and on many occasions we have been told of the superiority of the results over other types.
