The car was also not ready for production. Prior to launch, the Imp was subjected to thousands of miles of testing in temperature extremes from Kenya to Norway running prototypes night and day. The engineers identified some minor issues that needed improvement, but time pressures forced Rootes into holding the launch date – after all, no less than Prince Philip was booked for the opening ceremony.

  • Story of the Impunity and Facksimile Trials Cars
    The Story behind Impunity 1 & 2 by John Fack with help from Julian Fack who designed & built the 2 cars HISTORICAL BACKGROUND or approximately 12 years from the mid-1950s, Cannons (and some of the specials built along similar lines) were the cars to beat in Sporting Trials. Sporting they may have been, but trials were very competitive at the time with fields of 40+ cars going out to play at 20 or more events around the country every year, so it was inevitable that one or two people would start to think they could come up with designs still complying with Fthe National Trial Formula that would spoil the Cannon’s party. Some innovations – Percy Barden’s radical IRS PAB, for example – failed to convince, whereas others like the lovely Nymph that Frank Pryor built for Don Rawlings with its “flat” steering wheel and pivoting front transverse leaf spring system worked pretty well and achieved good results, despite the cable-driven steering needing weekly adjustments, according to Robin Jager who owned the car later. The most significant innovations were to be found, however, in Frank Pryor’s Iris in 1967: here for the first time a fully articulating low roll stiffness front axle was incorporated, to- gether with upright motorcycle spring damper units mounted in the mid- dle, with a steering rack mounted on the cockpit floor. A fabricated tubular axle with Imp stubs – quite possibly another first – located by a Panhard rod and 2 radius rods, with steering activated by a centrally mounted bell- crank, completed the picture.

  • Impost the Hillman Imp – Beware of Charlatans! Colin Valentine, Rufforth, Yorkshire
    impost The Hillman Imp – Beware of Charlatans! Colin Valentine, Rufforth, Yorkshire The following article appeared in the newsletter of the North East England Classic & Pre-War Automobiles magazine, NECPWA News, 2017 No. 6. Unusually it has an article on the Imp. Written by Richard Mundell, it makes interesting reading… A car that gave me great pleasure was an Imp I owned in 1964. It was sad, therefore, to hear Imps rubbished in a recent TV programme, The Cars that made Britain Great. The programme was made, one might suppose, to celebrate British car design over the years. To do so, it followed the depressing custom of parading ‘celebrities’ along with experts. There was three of each. The celebrities consisted of a cricketer, a hill walker and a trendy poet. The journalistic experts, one pompous and two snide, were united in an apparently complete lack of personal experience of the Imp. Such experience was confined to the poet who had a mate who had one, and dismissed it twice as ‘crap’ because it was not a ‘babe magnet’. The general message was that the Imp was a small comical load of junk and the general impression was of ignorance. Given the blanket condemnation one wondered what the poor old Imp was doing in a programme about cars that made Britain great anyway. Rather more specific in their abuse are the several books that have been published on unconventional or unsuccessful cars.
