    Powered by a full house Ford Cobra V8 sitting in the back seat area, it reputedly produced over 500HP with 400 lb ft of torque..
    Said to be able to lift it's front wheels and with handling best described as extreme, the Lefoe Imp has achieved a cult like status with Aussie Sports Sedan followers

    Last owner I knew of the Lefoe IMP was Neil West, had a Shell Servo in Mooroolbark. Was it Neil that slam-dunked it at Sandown?
