Development of the Hillman Imp

Apex 3

Part of Kenneth Sharpe's memories

 

At the top of Bwlch-y-Groes hill climb in Wales. Having a powerful fan the Imp had no problem with cooling on hill climbing the trouble started with high speed running. The car is A 3 the first of the short wheelbase cars.

"The driver of the Imp I think is Bob Croft. The passenger could well be Mike Parkes. The passenger in the Mini is Harry White with his unmistakable grin."
