The Hillman Imp front suspension exposed

There is nothing to expose thats very much wrong, the Mk 1 Imp did have lean in front wheels, said to be a way of lifting the ride height as the headlights were too low. This I find hard to believe as when the Mk 2 version came out the front wheels were upright and the lights the same height.


This front suspension set sits on our 1967 Singer Chamois and in the same position as the set on the car, left click the picture for a better view.

Note, the Mk1 and Mk2 center pick up plates differ at the front of the suspenion arms and also at the rear, its a big job to change them, there were also two versions of the Mk1 rear plate too.

  1. It was the side light height, NOT the headlights. There is a distinct difference between a mk1 front wing pressings and subsequent versions because of this.
