I have a Norton Imp solo, pictures are on the vintagebike.com website. My name is Frank Barlow and an article and pictures of it will be appearing in an American magazine called Cafe Racer very shortly. If I can help you with anything, please ask.

Hi there
Earlier I posted a picture of what I believed was an A10 with an imp engine  have  now been told it is a Reliant Robin engine sorry for the confusion.

Cheers Guys,
For the feedback and information.
The "imps4ever" site was where I got my first lead from, that is Ken Horwood and his Norton-Imp creation from 1976. I'm not totally sure but I have a faint recollection of  a Manchester Motorcycle dealer putting together some Norton Imps in the late 60s or early 70s, but I could be wrong, about the location of the dealer.

Frank Barlow, (Bomber), I can be contacted on email j.hall441@btinternet.com, I would be interested in which  Imp engine you used,   875cc, 998cc, or the later Talbot 930cc lump, what type of Primary side drive link-up you selected, gearbox  ratios and sprockets, carb' set-up and the weight and tractability and power output  of resulting machine.



Many Thanks

JBW
