The Great North Road, an understatement if ever there was.
The JoLon Imp is now well on its way to London.
News in from the guys as of yesterday.
Hi all
Just some news on the grand adventure of the Jolon imp and two drivers. We are currently in Tanzania, and will be staying in Iringa tonight. Yesterday we were travelling through Zambia towards to the Zambia-Tanzania border at 1600m above sea level, very different climate to what we are used to in Johannesburg.
I have updated the blog site, with a description of the ordeals we encountered from the beginning of our trip. Please do go on line (http://jolonimp.wordpress.com/2013/01/) and have a quick read, it will shed some light on the battles at the South Africa-Botswana border, the utter exhaustion that we felt as well as the running condition of the car.
Both Geoff and myself are still in high spirits, enjoying every minute and every country we come across.
Thanks for the interest you have shown, keep an eye out for further updates.

Kenya, a pre release team and a Mk1 Imp being tested prior to the 1963 release of the Hillman Imp, which was My 3rd 1963, so nearly fifty years ago!

Hi all
The Jolon Imp, it has a standaed engine but with a front mounted radiator and twin front fuel tanks.
Zimbabwe was given a miss, they went via Botswana into Zambia instead.
