Hillman Imp police panda car? What next!

Ed: they were common. There even a Corgi model of an Imp police car.

All my local bobbies in those days seemed to favor Morris Minors; I never saw an Impish panda before!

Rob .. Re the Police Imp Panda, a friend tells me there is a preserved one in the Dundee Museum of Transport collection. Apparently a genuine ex-Kent County Constabulary vehicle, presumably built no more than 100 miles away from Dundee at the former Rootes Group long-gone Linwood plant. One for your bucket list next time you are back in the UK!

Thanks Keith! Another good reason to visit Scotland again as well as the malts….

Ed: remember Imps were quite successful rally cars too - rear engined.
