The New small car
The Hillman Imp - model car
In the aftermath of the Suez crisis in 1956, European car manufacturers rushed to create small cars which used less fuel.
The Coventry-based Rootes Group developed such a new car with a number of unique features - an aluminium alloy engine, positioned at the rear and angled at 45 degrees instead of vertically. Perhaps as an unintended prediction of the car's unreliability, the car had a wheel brace which could be used as a hand starter if the electrics failed!
The Imp was made in the purpose build Linwood factories in Scotland. Launched in 1963, it sported many new and untried ideas.
In total, 440,013 cars were built by the time the last car rolled off the production line in March 1976.
