Hillman Imp

Post by KevJTD »

Another great day watching the Cadwell racing with Tim at the Wolds Trophy meeting.
Quite a few Hillman Imps racing in the Classic Touring car race, some very enthusiastic lines at the Mountain, great stuff.
Saw these 2 little crackers in the carpark too, don't they look great 8-)

Looks like a good meet.

I've got a Mega soft spot for an Imp, or Singer Chamoix, i reckon they're great little cars, and tuned versions like Coventry Climax etc can really shift too!

that little red one in the car park with the deep dish rims just looked the mutts mate, track ones were mega.

one guy was really doing the mountain at a hell of a rate in the first race, got stuck behind his teamate in the 2nd race. you could see he was faster through the bends but just couldn't get by

this is an in-car from the imp driver who was really on it at cadwell, taken from a race at oulton. now, tell me he isn't having fun with armfulls opposite lock 8-)
