Welcome back - and pleased to hear you are 'fully fit'. Good choice the Imp - built in Ecosseland of course! I did get a tour round the factory - but then I saw round many factories, and they are ALL gone now............not sure if it was me......
Good luck with your new purchase - I'm sure you know that rust is the enemy - mechanical condition is pretty much irrelevant.
