The first Imp appeared in May 1963 and was designed to compete with the Mini. Unfortunately for its makers, the Rootes Group, it never rivalled the Mini in either sales or the public’s imagination. It had an innovative rear-mounted aluminium engine based on a Coventry Climax design, and independent suspension all round.
The Imp was manufactured at the Rootes Group’s factory in Linwood in Scotland, and about 440,000 were built between 1963 and 1976. (Over five million Minis were produced in 35 years). The factory never produced as many cars as the Rootes Group wanted, and this caused financial problems which led to the take over of Rootes by Chrysler in 1967. CTM
