Hillman Imp on the road again
Loaded on the specialist trailer we had the 1971 Hillman Imp Deluxe transported back to the spray shop for some minor works.
This may just be one of the nicer Hillman Imps around, one of them anyway?
The car will then be taken to the motor trimmers for a full refit and then return to have the 998cc Imp engine fitted.
How easy was this, I wonder myself sometimes!

Imp Californian on the road again
This is true and in more ways than one.
I took a drive up to the Apostle Battery, its near Llandudno.
This was a very important gun position in WW2, manned by ladies (manned?) they had 9.2" guns with a range of around 33 miles.

This is I assume the lead into a store for the cannons shells?
Yesterday the car was loaded onto this trailer and taken to the motor trimmers for the new carpets and head liner .

Hillman Imp involved in a Western Cape road side rescue
This was after the 1971 Hillman Imp, which had been under reconstruction for over a year left our care, the car was quite safe of course but was taken along for the extra ride.
Morne the driver of the rescue two truck is taking his own pictures at the center of the picture.
The owner of the blue Hillman Imp sent me this message from the crash site:
Diverted to distress call near Swellendam. German tourist couple rolled rented brand new Nissan Almera through farmer's fence and into grazing sheep. Both folk in hospital. Deposited wreck at Morne's depot in Swellendam, refuelled, now resume course for Malagas, where he picks up boat/trailer combo for Swellendam, then re-loads the Nissan wreck to deliver to Europcar rental depot at CTN airport tonight. He's covered his salary cost today for sure! Rob.
Pictures supplied by Rob, click on them for a larger view to see more detail.
About to start the rest of the journey.
The blue Hillman Imp did make it to its new home and Rob is doing some minor works prior to some electrical upgrades he fancies.
