    I can't remember seeing many of these around when I was a kid in the 1950s.  Grandad's L type was also a rare sight.  I did read about the 10/4's front suspension when I was in my Meccano phase - always have been a bit of a suspension fanatic and back then would 'invent' my own types, only to discover that it had been done before.  The pseudo Dubonnet front suspension on the 10/4 was certainly novel.  It did not work well in Meccano.
     I've just seen @Mr Pastry's posts!  He is right to point out that finding replacement parts will be tricky and not very easy to reproduce either.

    I've always thought these had a good specification on paper- decent mechanicals and quite ahead of their time, but they seem to be unloved.  It's difficult to assess how they were viewed in period, as contemporary road tests were usually very bland, and of course they weren't really British so couldn't be any good.  Somebody on here I think had one, but didn't speak highly of it iirc.   I should think parts supply would be very difficult now.  And they did, and presumably still do, rot.

    Vauxhall at the time was a premium brand and I think they really leaned into it still being a premium product at a smaller scale.

    lesapandre got a reaction from cort1977 in The new news 24 thread   
    As an aside the BBC reports that "as District Judge Daniel Sternberg disqualified the Tory environmentalist from driving, he warned that drivers who speed "emit more harmful emissions" even in hybrid and electric cars."
    Interesting legal point there - that the judge is taking in the whole scope of these limits in his consideration of the offence ie not just the danger aspect.
    Of course the admonishment may have been directed with some irony at Zac Goldsmith as a prominent "environmentalist" driving an electric car.
    But the jist of the judgment is that some limits are indeed there to protect the environment overall. 
    Interesting point of law bought out there.

    I had a yellow one like that, hand painted with Tekaloid, yellow to piss off the directors of the company I worked for as it had to be parked round the back of the building as it was 'socially unacceptable'.
     
    Until they needed me to drop everything and go to a dinner to take photo's of Henry Cooper.  No company cars available so they had to insure the Imp for company use.

    They really do look wrong with the headlamps placed at the corners rather than a foot or so out from the radiator.
