  6. My Imp boiled up on the short twenty mile journey back home after purchase. Must have laughed their socks off. Interesting mis matched brake shoes, metal patches with black pitch on underside...mot...really, how?
    Halfords did well out of that one, several tonnes of filler and rattle cans invested in that one.
    Went fairly well though once sorted. Max speed around sixty. Not maximum engine would do, just no roads wide enough for the severe swerve that started when approaching sixty o_O

  7. My dad bought an Imp for me Mom, he bought a spare engine. He could swap an engine over in an evening so we’ll practised he became. Think the engines were used in fork lift trucks, Coventry Climax rings a bell think they built the engines sold on to BMC.

  9. imps rocked, two head gaskets sorted it. every man and his dog had one round my way. they where made just along the road.
    originally over tuned, when on their first road test all three came of on the same corner on the Glenifir Breas.

  18. He needs to keep stum about that period of his life,;) my mate does from his time at certain car companies. Although he has the chittier design briefs like winding mechanism for side windows and all manner of unseen design work.
