dsl ◊ 2014-10-21 15:41	Not much difference between Super Imp and Chamois side trim - it's really only colours - Super Imp always black fill, Chamois was variable contrast to main body colour which tends to make Chamois more obvious in distant pictures - can't explain it but it just happens. This one could be Chamois or even just ordinary Imp with odd reflection - Super Imp my best hunch. Also Imp/Super Imp had separate colour choice from Chamois - not much help here, but this could be a Hillman green (difficult to be certain on this one, although if it's the one I'm thinking of which was a pale watercress soup colour it was 69+ facelift).

So matches the second pair of thumbs in a sequence about a minute later, and likely to be the same car - probably a crew car. There's also a Commer Imp van in distance of main and first 2 thumbs.
