I remember buying a new Sunbeam Imp in 1966. It was an uprated version of 
the Hillman Imp. ISTR there were two carburettors, a better compression 
ratio and other refinements now gone from memory but it performed markedly 
better than the ordinary Imp. The Sunbeam Stilletto was the same basic car 
but was a fastback version. Hillman also sold the hot version under the 
Singer label. I think they called it a Gazelle! All the Imps performed very 
well and were very reliable but  you needed a lot of concentration to keep 
straight in a strong crosswind as they seemed to get very light on the front 
at speed. Of course the boot was under the bonnet and if you put a heavy 
weight there it helped with the steering. You could use the same bag of 
cement that you had to put in the boot of your 3.0 litre Ford Capri to keep 
the rear wheels behind the front in the wet.
They were good times for motoring, the Jaguar E type was not long unveiled 
also the Datsun 240Z had just appeared, and Triumph and Rover were making 
excellent 2 and 2 and a half litre motors.
Ah yes I remember also.......but enough bandwidth wasted already!
