Have you really got a Turbo Charged Hillman Imp? Or is it just a car you'd always imagined but never got built???

That ..as you keep saying Paul, needs to be back on the road.

Yep, was turbocharged with a VNT15, then supercharged
All built without a garage, just a little work shop, some ingenuity, and a lot of patience!
