Mark 3 This revision is sometimes referred to as the introduction of the Mk 3. never badged as such
In October 1968 the Mk II designation was discontinued. The whole range of Imps was revised: all models (except the Stiletto) were given a new interior. They got new seats and upholstery and many variations of external trim. The new facia was full width with a round set of gauges including the speedometer.
