The Hillman Imp is such a cool little car - Scotland's answer to the Mini. Famous for its 875cc aluminium engine, and cleverly designed to fit a lot of car into a small space. This example, registered in May 1970, is one of the 'Chrysler' Imps. (Chrysler bought out Hillman-manufacturer Rootes Group in 1967), or (unofficially) mk3 Imp. This 2-door saloon variant remained in production at the Linwood plant near Paisley right through to 1976. They sold 1/2 million Imps in 13 years of production!
