Back on the mainland we went into Wales - and I drove the Imp onto the Dovey Estuary sands - which greatly pleased my nephew! 1/7/72.

I must confess to never being a huge fan of Imps in their day;the few people we knew who had them often seemed to have their cars off the road with recurring problems.However,they are pretty rare today,and it was a nice surprise to come across this one in a car park amongst all the modern stuff.
Family again with my car this time -poor old Dad had to squeeze in at the back!. My Imp at Milford,Hants on 19/6/69.
Oh, what a shame it was about the Imp. Hillman, or Rootes really, built over 440,000 between 1963-76, but never got near the number of Minis sold, it's target rival. Despite only 39bhp from the 875cc Coventry-Climax engine, it was lively on the road, with good manners. It was also more practical than a Mini, with a folding rear seat and a hatchback. Reliability, or lack of it, was its achilles heal, but they have a strong following today - a very good one can be had for about £3500.
