Robert Allan:
yes I was there, but I think the car was Grania McKie's. She arranged for us to get special permission to go down onto the Causway. We had 2x cars at a time and the local press from Belfast took photos. It was one of several nice Northern Ireland trips that we did.

Just saw my little Imp on http://www.imps4ever.info/misc/hillman-imp-at-famous_places.html
I still have it, although SORNed and a little scruffy looking.
We had some great trips in N.I. with the Imp club.

Coming back from Imp 12, from Matlock to the ferry at Hull, we decided to take the slightly longer route via the Humber Bridge. We had a break at the foot on the south side and took some photos. | |
