Hello and welcome Jack,
That looks from the front panel badge a Mk4 beer can body shell version, so quite a late Imp
Where have the sidelight lenses gone? (or more precisely why are they orange?)
Anyway, gives me an excuse to dig out this old photo of a '66 Imp super I had once-upon-a-time. So old it had a load of extra panels that weren't on later cars (Chrysler's cost-cutting) and a weak old curly-edge engine block......and I was thin.

Love the imp! I have two of them, though neither are on the road at the moment unfortunately.
Boris, my soon to be sport fronted, 875 turbo (pictured when I first got it) Is now many months into its restoration and very nearly a completely solid rolling shell.
And the Reverend green; my daily until september when it came off the road for bits for the other one:

Cheeky bas!
The 1964 Austin 1100 in the background in misleading (I didn't own that car until 1993-ish, but we knew the owners, so they must have been visiting). I think it was taken circa 1990.
