  • The Imperial cyclecar was made by Impolitico, a theatre lighting company in London, for one year only immediately before the First World War.
  • The power came from a 8hp V-twin Precision engine with a "gearbox" giving seven forward speeds and optional reverse using belts and pulleys.
  • The Model A cost £110 and had reverse, the Model B at £95 did without. About 12 cars were made.
