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/

Hillman Imp Californian coupe

This car will turn fifty years old next month.

After a three year restoration its ready to do another fifty years service.

With only 6000 made they were never very common.

The car still runs the original engine block, crank bearings and pistons, just the rings were changed about ten years ago.

The house took about the same time to build as the restoration of the 1967 Hillman Imp Californian took.

So I could have built a house and made a predictable profit instead I did the car (smile)

The car is now in its 50th year!

The way it is?

Will you choose the wife or the car?

How hard can this be?
