With all the flashy chevrolets and Zephyrs for the police around this little Sunbeam Imp looks a little amusing! It is a late Corgi model and I think they had some casts left over after the Monte Carlo model became out of date. That will explain the strange shape at the front which I don’t recall seeing on any police cars! It was the correct Monte Carlo badge shape though :)
It has tan seats instead of the yellow and this one has a policeman driving it which was in early models. The door stickers may also be luminous. That’s what the original box said although I haven’t tested them myself.
This version with just a black roof, white door panels and no blue was only around for a year or so in 1968-9 and is noticeably scarcer than the blue version.
There is also a version without a black roof but which has a blck bonnet and black door labels.
