Hope the lack of Rootes-jewels did not spoil your visit too much ..... 1400 SC is believed to be the first production Imp: chassis number 6, body number 1. (But Glasgow Transport museum claim theirs - same colour and also without exterior mirrors because it was presented as a display car which would not be used on road - is the first one as well ...)

The green Alpine 9201 RW appeared at 1962 Le Mans 24hrs test weekend in April, but was not used in the race; its chums 9202 and 9203 RW were raced instead.
