The last development was twin Strombergs, but the single Zenith is more reliable. Rootes were always constantly developing things. A run out Imperial would be a very luxurious car. By that time Chrysler had been in charge for years and V-8 prototypes were built but the engine offered limited advantages over the straight six and a much worse fuel consumption.

Wow.. That's one of the ripest examples I've seen for a while. The background of the photos doesn't inspire a lot of confidence

I expect he's a banger racer, and that's all that Imperial is good for. Maybe.

But if he's selling off bits, good for him.

Thanks guys. Aye, good to offer the parts first. The Reutter individual front seats, brake servo and pipework, PAS equipment, and a few other bits are worth having. Alas, Lewes is a long way away for me.

Get in contact, it's not that far for me to pick up when I'm working down that way when the shit dies down, if he is going to strip them off anyway.
Quite how to get them from Horsham to you is another matter.
