Incredible ... but great!
Scroll back up through this thread and you'll find my first note looking for information on Yimkin back 2007:

Now fast forward >>>>
I purchased this chassis earlier in the year from (the other) Al and I'm still doing a bit of homework before starting any real work. I've been in touch with Don, Duncan from FJHRA and Ed Glaister and so far as I'm able to piece together the chassis is a Yimkin and was either modified or built after Don Sim sold the company. Also that it used to hang from their ceiling in the Cadogan Lane garage for a while. So hopefully things will be cleared up when a photo turns up or that jogs someones memory. There's also a small feature in this months Classic Cars Magazine with a call for information which hopefully will speed things up.
In the meantime I've been pulling things together into a blog so please do feedback if you have any information or forward on to interested parties. Not that there can be very many out there but who knows. I've done quite a bit of work investigating the chassis and it's clearly a Yimkin that's been hacked about so I've highlighted the work so there's a clear view of 'Before' and 'After' with most of the original tubes still being clearly visible and even where bits have been hacked off and relocated.
My father used to own the Ed Glaister Yimkin too (only a guess back in 2007) so he's had a good look and given it the 'thumbs up' as he rebuilt his / Ed's from a bare chassis in the 70's. Please do take a look and let me know what you think.
