The Hillman Imp is a compact car that was produced by the British manufacturer Rootes Group from 1963 to 1976. Designed by T. E. Lawrence, it features a rear-engine layout and a distinctive hatchback design, making it one of the early examples of this style in the UK. The Imp was known for its lightweight construction and nimble handling, appealing to urban drivers. Powered by a 875 cc four-cylinder engine, the Hillman Imp offered a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. It was available in various trims and configurations, contributing to its popularity during the 1960s and 1970s. The car's production ended in 1976, but it remains a nostalgic symbol of British motoring.
