It seems to me that the twin carb version of the Hillman Imp-related cars
had twin Stromberg CD125s. I believe the Sunbeam Stilleto (which was a
fastback Imp, basically) had them, and possibly the Singer Chamois. I'm not
sure if you are located in the US or the UK, but for sure you should be able
to find parts in the UK.
The Imp was a great car, by the way. Rear engine, SOHC, all aluminum, IRS -
what fun!! It was real easy to remove the engine/gearbox, by dropping it
onto jackstands, removing the rear crossmemeber of the car and pushing the
car forward, leaving the whole powertrain sitting. I remember carrying the
block in one hand from my garage to my house so I could wash it off in the
backyard (much to Mum's disgust). What a great car!
