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 1967 Singer Chamois at Diaz Point

Diaz was the first man to round the Cape, as a Portugese sailor he was well ahead of the rest.
So were Rootes Scotland when they realsed the Hillman Imp in May 1963.

Pic was taken with a Canon FT film camera,by R McBride

The picture was taken around eighteen years back, the car had been given a total overhaul, the engine was rebuilt, the body stripped of 100% of its parts and re sprayed in the cars original colour, which is named Claret Metalic and shade nuber 126. It looks much the same today!
