The 1967 Hillman Californian

Sold a few years back, this may be the only coupe version of the Hillman Imp in South Africa?


the car arrived with a very tatty and standard single carb engine, when sold it had a Sport conversion. that includes the twin carbs, manifolds and oil cooler.


With a re spray and special 13" widened wheels fitted with low profile Pirelli tyres, it made for a really nice car.

The car was an entry to the Springbok Retro Series a few years back, I did a prcatice lap at Killarney race track, threw a fan belt and realised the engine needed the works deep alloy fan belt pully set, I retired from the event.
