Slartibartfast should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I realise we are getting away from the original thread here, but I think this is the David Hall Imp after he had sold it on. By this stage (1978?) it was driven by Vivian Candy (and I don't actually know if this was his real name) because one of the mechanics lived quite close to me for a while. I used to see it in the lockup garage attached to his house, and if memory serves he may have taken it for a spin around the local housing scheme to test the engine/transmission once or twice.... By this time it was well sorted, and at least a match for anything in the local 1300cc mod saloon class. I might be wrong, but in the 80's the regulations changed to 2 valve 1600cc, and it was given a new lease of life with a Lotus/Ford twin cam.
