Couverte d'éloges par la presse mondiale Voici quelques citations de revues qui font autorité. Carrosserie: "La lunette arrière à charnières, une idée pratique et originale." Moteur: "Un moteur que l'on ne s'étonnerait pas de trouver sur une voiture de sport bien plus chère." Transmission: "Sa boîte à 4 vitesse ne mérite que des éloges." Sécurité: "Sa tonue de route est absolument parfaite." Ces jugement se passent de commentaires.	Covered with praise by the world press Here are some quotes from authoritative journals. Body: "The rear window has hinges, a practical and original idea." Engine: "An engine that one wouldn't be surprised to find in a sports car much more expensive." Transmission: "The four speed box deserves only praise." Security: "Its road holding is absolutely perfect." These judgments speak for themselves.

The gentlemen of the motoring press had many nice things to say on the Imp and Rootes rightly quoted them in this French advert.

In Australia Rootes did a similar thing: they made a folder with 20 quotes from the press: Australian motoring experts acclaim Imp - zippiest on the road. Read what the experts say.

The fact that the Imp was the first Scottish built car for something like 30 years, meant the Scottish papers gave the new car launch a lot of publicity.

Motor Sport, 1969 October
To advertise tuning parts available from the Chrysler Competition Department an Imp was built to near ultimate specification and joined the press fleet. ALN 650H featured a 998 with R17 cam, larger inlet valves and 10,4:1 compression ratio. There were twin 40 DCOE carburettors and an across the bank silencer, reputedly from an Aston Martin. Other parts were a 10-gallon fuel tank, front discs (possible Viva) and a front radiator (possible Hunter). The car had weight saving features like as Perspex side and rear glass, fibre-glass bonnet and no rear seat. It was valued at 1,500. Power was 94 bhp, with 74 lb/ft of torque giving a top speed of 102mph and 0-60 in 9.2 seconds.

Eight dedicated people under the supervision of Des O'Dell at Rootes Competition Dept. at Coventry currently have the most frustrating jobs in the improved perfomance business, for they have proved their workshops can prepare cars to beat the world and yet, because of a high-level Rootes decision to withdraw from competition, they can no longer demonstrate the point to a motoring world which needs as many different marques as possible.

It's a one page article (7 photos), saying Paul Emery can carry out the conversion or supply the parts.

Counterfeit Clan? - Alternative Cars April 1983. - p.9
There has been a bit of a mess about the Clan 1983. Peter McCandless stated his company to be completely legal since 1980, and that the Clan design is not regsitered to Paul Haussauer. And the 83 Clan is registered in Peter McCandless' name.
In Chris Harvey's book on the Lotus, the Clan is mentioned as being on the Lotus drawing boards.

He won the class title of the '91 Scottish Hillclimb Championship in it. In emergencies it will do more than 10.000 revs.

Grand Day Out : Mobil Economy Run / John Simister. - Practical Classics 2001, July. - p.30-37
A small-scale re-run of the 1966 Mobil Economy Run, which was won by an Imp (as was the 1965 event). For the re-run we tried to gather together the four types of car that won the different engine-size classes, an Imp, a Renault 8, a Wolseley 16/60 and a Humber Hawk. The Renault didn't make the start, because it blew a head gasket (rear engine, blown gasket, sound familiar?)
Colin Gunn provided his 12,000-mile-old, almost completely original Super Imp Spring Special, and it was almost like driving a brand-new Imp. Amazing.
Three degrees in economics. A gallon of petrol went a long way on the mobil economy run. John Simister takes three class-winners on a re-run of the 1966 event.
