I would like to know where in Hebden Bridge or the surrounding villages the green wreck in the first 2 pictures of this topic are. As I would like to buy it. Or at the very least go and have a look at it.

It's a rare little car and in that condition has practically no monitary value, as a result could quite easily be taken away as scrap. They only made 67, and I would like one. Even in that state.

I used to own Jimp number 14 smile

If you search Google for the Home of the Jimp. That is a website I started when I was 15, I recently handed it over to someone with more time for the cause. My car was BPV 307Y, and is currently missing. I sold it to a guy from the South Coast who nerarly had it MOTed, he then sold it to a biker from Wales I think.

I went up there at midday. I thought it'd be easy to find, it's only when u drive up there that you realise what a challenge this is, even with the limited number of properties around there, there are a million places to hide a Jimp!

The route I took was not accessible by car, walked a long way up onto the tops, the area looked like the pictures, but then again, so did every other valley for miles in each direction.

I got fairly close to an isolated farm house but stopped at the gates. Trailed though some boggy moorland to try get a better look but couldn't see anything.

Basically it could have just been hidden out of sight, or it could be 10 miles away!

Hope somebody else has more luck!
