Hillman Imp Super 1970

[ImpJames]

Hi people
I put a post in the newbie section last year about me and my imp and i have since got it finished and have done about 3 or 4 trials in it and its been absolutley brilliant, ive won the junior trophy and ive been the best novice against people who have been trialling for quite some time.
Ive got another trial this weekend at great brickhill so we shall see how this one goes.
Heres a couple of pictures her now.








Cheers, James

Tidy looking Imp.

ver' nice Imp there and good to see its getting fully used rather than molly coddled in a garage somewhere

Great to see the Imp out there perfoming well. Just what's needed, more support for the rear engined stuff

Very nice, good to see it being used and abused like it's meant to be.

Cheers everyone.

This is what it was like when i bought it.
It will be given another good thrashing this weekend.
Cheers, James

Welcome to the forum James. I've always had a soft spot for the Imp platform.

Good to see one being put to proper use.

Takes me back....my old man had two Imps when I was kid ..one was a spare to keep the other on the road

Hope you had fun this weekend ...??

It was an absolute mud bath at brickhill but brilliant fun.

Whenever the subject of old cars comes up at work my boss always brings up the first car he bought when he got his first proper job - a hillman imp with a warped head.

The story goes that he couldn't afford to get the head skimmed to sort it out properly so for about 2 months he would just change the headgasket everytime it blew as they were dirt cheap. Just before he got rid of it, it had got to the point he was changing it once a day, before he drove home from work...

I'd rather of driven a Mini than change a head gasket everyday.
