Roys Hillman Imp years

The Hillman Imp, my first car, I had my UK drivers licence at the age of 17, the next thing was to buy a Mk1 Imp. I now realise that with my fifty (50) years of Imp experience, I may have some past tips on the Imp to pass on? Since then there have been many other cars and things with motors in them that have come my way, this blog is about some of them. There is also a large inventory of Imp parts in stock, view the main blog on boats at http://ckdboats.blogspot.com/

A Hartwell 420 lift camshaft

The normal Sport camshaft has its lift increased to 0.310" the Rootes Competitions R20 takes that lift to 0.360" lift, thats quite a jump but the George Hartwell race cam went way past that and to a massive 0.420" of valve lift!

Seen on Ebay UK.

Used but looks not to be abused, I wonder what stories this can tell and who has it now?

The Hartwell race camshaft with a valve lift of 0.420" Hartwell used to trade from Bournmouth,UK, I have been supplied by them in the past but they no longer exist.
