He is not his and he does not know what his neighbor should do with it. But behind the Vernon Cars and Classics premises on the Zuider Parallelweg 50. 6882AH in Velp is this abandoned Hilman Imp.
A bit further back is also a cheerful pale purple Skoda that is considerably better off, but which we certainly won't see at Het Loo this weekend.
It is funny how many 'challenging' projects and donors are still waiting and waiting here in the Netherlands dwindle. Somehow the explanation must be that classic lovers today lack the craftsmanship and time to tackle a project and would rather take the plunge to buy a ready-made classic.
Whether that is a pity? We do not know.
We don't have much time ourselves. But we wouldn't want to miss working on a classic.
But it will indeed take a while before this Hilman Impp is as it once was on the brochures. And whether the Volvo R Sport will make it?
