At the beginning of the 13th century, the most well-known singers and poets were invited by the Thuringian landgrave to stay at the Wartburg. At this time, the Wartburg was one of Europe's most famous art cultivation centres. Therefore the Legend of the Minnesingers' Contest has a proven historical background. The legend is depicted on a magnificent fresco by Moritz von Schwind and is well known from the world-famous Wagner opera "Tannhäuser." The singers' gallery represents the Romantics' imagination of the minnesingers' stage.

In 1956 there was an oil crisis as French and British troops tried to take possessions of the Suez Canal to stop Egyptian nationalisation. The vulnerability of Europe’s oil supplies became apparent as petrol prices soared. Car manufacturers rushed to produce cheap small cars.
Rootes planned such a model – originally called the Slug. The design evolved with a rear wheel drive from an engine in the boot. For the car to handle properly, a light-weight engine was developed.
In 1959, as BMC announced the Mini, Rootes decided to go into production with the Imp at their new Linwood plant, served by the body making plant at Pressed Steel who were already in the area making bodies for Rover and Volvo.
It had taken little more than two years to build the factory and manufacture the first car. But this rush to put the car on the road had left insufficient time for testing and, although the press reports at the launch were very complimentary, these early cars soon gained a reputation for unreliability.
Singer and Sunbeam versions of the Imp were made together with a Commer van.
