The Hillman Imp frontal crash zone
A mention on the Imp Clubs forum of the front petrol tank had me remembering this picture.
This is not a picture I would normally post but given that the old style phone box was made from cast iron and really strong it does show the result of a rather spectacular crash.
Did the Imp roll into the phone box I wonder?
I have owned eleven Imps I think, the front petrol tank has never bothered me, its the same with millions of VW Beetle cars too.
Both designs have a spare wheel in the area and the Imps is right across the front of the petrol tank, which itself is a crumple defence?
