The Hillman Imp was built from 1963 until 1976. In most Western-European countries the Sunbeam brand was used instead of Hillman. The car had its engine in te rear. Interesting is the opening rear hatch to allow luggage to be put into the back seat rest.
This was my first car; a 74 Hillman Imp. It was made in Scotland as a less successful contemporary to the original Mini.
I was just out of university in 91 and had no real job or money yet but I needed a car. I found this car in the local paper for a couple of hundred pounds. At first I was unexcited about it (my dream car at the time, like every boy-racer, was a Golf GTi) but I quickly grew to love its quirkiness. It had a tiny engine in the back that drove the rear wheels; as a result the front would get very light under 'enthusiastic' driving to the point that you could hardly steer when you were going fast down hill. To compensate I used to carry a huge bag of sand in the front trunk to try to keep the front wheels grounded. The fuel pump was mounted on the top of the engine, which meant on a hot day and a long trip it would get very hot - if you stopped for gas it was so hot all the petrol would evaporate out of it so you would have to pour water over it to cool it down before you could get going again.
I grew to love this car. It was cheap, simple motoring. It taught me a lot about mechanics as I had to fix it myself when it frequently broke down (I never went anywhere without my toolbox, a gallon of water and a can of oil in the back). I was heart broken when it failed the MoT due to rust after 2 and a half years. It sat in my back yard for a while as I threatened to fix it but never had the time. Eventually, my brother and I broke it down for parts.
I took this photograph in part of the parking area set aside for various owners clubs at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Boulogne and Hawthorn Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 2006. Amongst several other Rileys, this is a 1935 Riley Imp built on the Riley Nine chassis and using its 4-cylinder inline 1,087cc engine. The Riley Imp was produced from 1933 to 1935 but production figure records were destroyed during WW2 and it is estimated that about 120-150 cars were produced in those three years.
Despite its original goal of preventing smuggling, Her Majesty's Coastguard is not a military force or law enforcement agency, Since 1923, it has functioned primarily as a coastal safety and rescue service, operating out of local shore stations and overseen by the Board of Trade. It became part of Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) in 1998. This Hillman Imp represents an actual vehicle (as modelled by Corgi Vanguards) that operated from Fleetwood and later Knott End on the Lancashire Coast. For promotional and public awareness purposes, a version of this livery was carried by a Blackpool tram In the 1990s (30-Oct-15).

The Imp class of light cargo freighters was produced by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The base freighter design, like many CEC ships, was modular and came with many options. The 'Besther' model, named for the project lead, featured individualized cargo pods which could be customized to accommodate specific needs.
The Besther Imp XIV was made in the first production run and has faired decently in its 34 years of service. Many non-essential systems no longer function well or at all, and it's space-worthiness is in doubt, but it works well as a planetside-only cargo transport.

The Lucasarts game "1313" was shaping up to be a brand new style of game for the Star Wars brand and a fantastic look at another side of the SW universe. Unfortunately, when Disney bought Lucasfilm they shuttered the Lucasarts game department. While not official, 1313 appears to have been effectively cancelled.
For SHIPtember I decided to pay tribute to what could have been. This ship features prominently in the trailer/demo video for the game, and appears to represent the opening act of the game.
While simple in shape, the detachable cargo pods were what first intrigued me enough to start this project. The ship is, to my best estimate, full minifigure scale. Though similar in looks, this ship would actually be dwarfed by the nearly four-times longer Tantive IV.
The full size of this model is 131.3 studs long, 42 studs wide, and 19 bricks tall. It took two weeks to create, start to finish.
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.
One of the 'must-find' things on any visit to Lincoln Cathedral is the Lincoln Imp. As befits such a mischievous creature, it can be difficult to capture. Here's a photo to help you. Good luck if you ever try to catch him yourself!
