Hillman Imp Californian seen at the Bay Harbour Market


The car is now part restored and very driveable.

Click on the image to enlarge it.

The car dates back to February 3rd 1967 when it came off the Rootes Scotland Car Co assembly line.

It is thought that as few as 55 to 60 are left world wide?

My Sunday driver and a lot of fun, the car attracts favourable comments where ever I take it.

What can be better than messing about on boats!

Sailing is just part of the fun in boat ownership, Francois built his boat back in 1977 and is still having fun.


Seen here at the HBBY and would you believe just at the start of spring here in the cape.

Boat ownership, its fantastic!

Hout Bay the home of Hillman Imps in South Africa


Imps have been a part of my life for a very long time, ten in all and counting the return of one that was sold four and a half years back I guess thats now car number eleven.


Right now the 1971 Hillman Imp under a full restoration is away for other works and the 1967 Hillman Californian Coupe is having new front suspensions fitted.


Hillman Californinan Coupe, a rare export model.


New parts in the front brakes include the cylinders, lininings and flexible hose to the brake fluid.
The steering rack rubber gaiter is a very hard to find part.
\

Pre assembly sorts out where each bolt belongs.

Do you know of any Hillman Imps in South Africa for sale?

Engine rebuild parts are in stock, restored cars are a possibility but we need more cars.
