FXV 99 originally issued June 39. Has optional protective strips on boot lid for luggage into opening rear window - rarely seen on Imps but was standard on early Chamois.

Another at 13-55

 Super Imp, dsl, judging by the first thumb. I mean the blue one as the red one is a '67 de Luxe in Signal red.
The Super looks to me in Loch Blue but I suspected this colour had gone at the launch of the super in the autumn of 1965...

 I was wrong. Not a Super Imp as it lacks the specific side trim. So a De Luxe with a later fake grille.

 @e225 - there was an early craze for fitting aftermarket accessory dummy grilles to ordinary Imps. These were not Rootes pattern items, and came in different sizes - all were rectangular - from medium to large. This one by Cosmic is a big one

 The only accessory they really needed was a couple of 2 foot by 2 foot concrete slabs in the boot to keep the front end down.

...Interesting! The same happened here for rear engined Fiats, mostly 600s and 850s.
