Not sure on the detail due to blurring, but looks ordinary version as far as I can see, so question is whether Hillman or Sunbeam (as 1966+ export brand). I think the central badge above bumper looks identical to UK Hillman script, so 1963+ Hillman Imp deluxe. |

Interesting. In 1968 price list, it was still listed as Hillman in Poland... |

Every source I've found states that from 66-67 Rootes exports were badged Sunbeam. But I can easily believe there were exceptions in some markets (eg I sometimes wonder about RHD markets such as HK). Poland is a new one for me - an unexpected market - did they sell many? |

Not many, if we compare with markets on the opposite side of Iron Curtain, but they were to meet on the streets. Some still exist, after renovation, as vintage vehicles. |

It is a 1966 Singer Chamois Mk II as I remember well it during the chase motions as I spotted the side trim. Even the color, this dark green was only a Chamois and not an Imp color...! |

Before Autumn 1966 they were exported as they were marketed in UK. After August 1966 only as Sunbeams. |

I did wonder if there was a side flash before suggesting Imp. Chamois should have over-riders and chrome rubbing strips on engine lid; this leaves Sept 65 onwards Hillman Super Imp, which would still conform to the possible Hillman badge above bumper and did not have over-riders as standard but should also have the engine lid rubbing strips, or Oct 66 onwards Sunbeam Imp Sport which seems to match everything (side flash, no over-riders or lid strips) but can't see clearly if it has the slotted rear panel to fully confirm. So I vote 67+my Sunbeam Imp Sport, though am unsure if it came with the green Chamois paint scheme as electra225's comment. |

This one stays as Sunbeam because all Imp Sports everywhere were Sunbeam. |
