Yup - on TDC I'm dmcnicoll. Lovely to see these great classics still used and loved.

Both lovely cars, the Imp and the 1500 FWD. I have an L reg 1500 too, manufactured in November '72. As for the wing mirrors, they were not standard items on the 1500FWD. Only cars first used on or after 1 August 1978 need a wing mirror, long after the 1500FWD was discontinued. Two other 'techie' bits of note, all your K and L reg cars have the black on white/black on yellow license plates, which were permitted on cars manufactured after 1968 (and often were used - hence your car plates) and compulsory on cars manufactured from1 January 1973 onwards. Personally I've swapped for the 'old style' (but not originally fitted) silver on black plates, which I prefer on older cars. What is more interesting is that you have the eminently desirable (and now no longer available) Triumph Dolomite Club grille badge, of which (as a member) I am very jealous.
