1965 Sunbeam Imp Deluxe Mk. 1 made by the Rootes Group in Linwood. Scotland power by a rear mounted 885cc four cylinder aluminum alloy Coventry Climax engine with a gas mileage of 45 MPG!  Four speed all synchromesh transmission with a rear wheel drive transaxle. water cooled and using a Solex carbureutor. Gas filler and spare tire located in the front trunk. It has a two door semi hatchback rust free body and . the rear window lifts up to access behind the rear seat. The wheelbase is 82" with a total length of 141. 5" with a total weight of 1545 lbs. Steering wheel is located on the left side for easy driving.

The car was restored by the previous owner about 10 years ago painted in Primrose Yellow with a burgundy interior. The windshield has two chips in the lower corner on the drivers side completely out of the vision line. Also needs a new speedo cable and these are quick and easy to replace. I will try to order one before the auction ends. Lots of fun to drive. turns a lot of heads and comes with car show trophies from the previous owner. It is more fun to drive than my Sunbeam Alpine!

There are under fifty Imps in the United States and the IMP club based in the UK is a fantastic club with a great monthy magazine and a spares program. It will be fun to own something different from the more common British cars.

Comes with parts and service manuals along with spare parts.

The car is sold as is and a $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of end of the auction with the balance paid in five days.

The car is also for sale locally and may end the auction early if a local sale happens. Thanks and good luck bidding!.

Hello, I'm interested in your Imp. if it's still available, could you send me some more pictures? I'm in Seattle WA but have family in MN. Thanks!

Curious to know if this car is still for sale? Not sure how your auction works, I am on the west coast of Canada, had an Imp in the early 70's loved it. Too cold to come out to your part of the USA in winter though.

Thanks
