Dear Kenyon I own a 1982 Imperial which i drive to work every day, which is fortunately a short trip as fuel costs in England are currently £0.795 per litre which roughly works out to $5.36 us per gallon. We have a strict annual inspection for our cars called an MOT (£37.00) which is required to obtain the road fund licence (tax disc) which must be displayed in the windscreen of the vehicle (£160 per annum) Back to imperials, a quick scan of the classifieds in our monthly magazine dedicated to American cars "classic American"and i found the following for sale: - 1958 imperial crown (hemi) £12,000 196? imperial lebaron 4 dr £4,750 1966 new Yorker 440 cu in £2,225 No year, imperial £2,000 www.classic-american.com No classifieds online but you can have a look at the way we look at American cars. I took my imp on a camping trip with my wife to the Loire valley in western France (Average 25mpg), every time i parked the car anywhere there were always people looking at it when we returned, so the French know a good car when they see one as well. I,ve rambled enough. Neil Thorpe 1982 imp black and still EFI
