Rosemary's speech before the price giving Rosemary said she was thinking about stepping down to let a younger president take over. But she just likes doing it too much. Then she said that the quality level of our Imps is higher every year and it gets more and more difficult to decide on the awards. I don't think anyone disagrees. | ||||

'Old Rooters'
Mr. David Allen
"In the 1960s I was the Rootes Sales Representative for the Southern part of Scotland (where Linwood was located).
I finished my career as Director of Product Planning in the early 1970s - after moving back from Scotland in 1966 to the factory in Coventry - where I joined the relatively new Product Planning Department." - read his writings: My time with the Hillman Imp
at the Rootes Group and Chrysler UK

Monday 4th August 2014: Almost ready to leave
The last few photos I take at Nationals always feel bittersweet. An end to a extended visit with friends.
The Dutch were some of the last to leave the site of another fine National.
