Will EVs bring a return to the streamliner age? matty_prior ponders...
On the subject, I told Gordon Murray at the Autocar Awards that I’ve recently bought a Hillman Imp, for him to remind me that he has one as well. I have seen it and had forgotten. He has a great collection of more than 30 mostly small cars.
Lovely, then, to hear him talk about how great an Imp is; mostly because of how brilliantly it’s packaged, with its lightweight, rear-cooled aluminium alloy engine mounted longitudinally under the rear deck, canted by 45deg so it fits and driving the rear wheels. An Imp is only 3.5 metres long but still has four seats, and an opening rear hatch with a fold-flat rear seat.
Imps have a reputation for understeer. The testers in its 1963 Autocar road test also noted it, I discovered yesterday. I keep getting told how people’s Imp-owning dads would put a bag of cement in the front boot to remedy the handling, by balancing out the weight.
