Could save you a fortune! Classic & Sports Car. The Hillman Imp was the highly interesting but unsuccessful competitor of the Mini, which until today is largely treated "neglected" (and is often simply forgotten). The youngest, 64-page volume of the series "Essential Buyers Guide" is dedicated to this rare type and its variations. Illustrated with around 100 illustrations, the author - who has more than 160 Imps throughout his life - explains the strong and weal and "traps" of the series. - Austo Classic.
