Product Description

The rear engined Imp was a clever design that offered an alternative to BMC's all conquering but unprofitable Mini. With a complex but efficient and lightweight 875cc 39bhp Coventry Climax derived engine (that had its design roots in a Korean war fire pump unit) and attractive American influenced styling, the Imp looked likely to be a winner. However whilst its competition successes show that it was indeed a real driver's car it never did the one thing all manufacturers need a car to do, make money.
