General Bye Floyd

[Charlotte]

Well folks, sad news. Floyd was sold on Sunday, first person to view bought him straight off. Bit of a shock really didn't realise he'd go so quick (or I'd have so much interest!) He was a great car but had to go

He has gone to a good home, and is staying local to Brum in Redditch.

Still has his Fiat Forum sticker on the back window so keep a look out for him

I'll still be around the Panda section tho You can't get rid of me that easy

Glad to hear Floyd has gone to a good home. Will his new owner be joining us on here?

Dave, Charlotte's new car is a Chamois. That's a business class Imp, don'tcha know..

Cheers,

Plug

strictly speaking, not that common at all, always had a soft spot for the stilletto myself. Still not a Panda though
see how long it takes before the 'hmmmmm, Sisley:yum:' disease strikes as it seems to be going round at the mo.

Glad Floyd has gone to a good home, any pic's of the newest vehicle to the clan

Glad Mr. Floyd has gone to a good home, I wonder if we will see the new owners on here ??????

Here you go. My "replacement" for Floyd

its got no engine ya div

I'm a bit curious why it's badged as a hillman chamois and not a Singer
thought all the hillmans were imps and the chamois were singer (or possibly sunbeam??) badged.
....then again who am I to wonder when my panda has a motley collection of Fiat, Lancia and Abarth badges scattered around it..
very nice though, a worthy replacement for a Panda if you must.

Looks like a nice little car Charlotte, hope you have fun with it. Like the twin headlights.. rare on a saloon

Watch out for the difference in handling though, Imps and all their derivatives were all a bit tail-happy and it's not that difficult to make them swap ends on a wet/icy road

It's got a HILLMAN bonnet even though it shouldnt as it's a Singer Chamois (posh Imp) just that the previous owner had the car resprayed and the bonnet was knocked about and he could only get one with Hillman on

Th Sunbeam versions were badged as 'Stillettos' or 'Imp Sports' according to the link below. It's from Channel 4 so may not be that accurate!

think the stillettos were only the coupe bodyshell though, could be wrong.
edit.. oh yeah, actually clicked the link now and it does say that..:doh:
