You may have noticed we now have a an SSL Certificate (see the padlock) so even though we dont sell anything or take any information or Cookies from visitors we are now deemed secure. This site started off as a record of just my own Hillman Imps but has turned into a pictorial record of as many Imps as I can find, currently we have pictures of over 900 imps and Imp engined vehicles. Since the site started many people have sent in their pictures which I have gratefully included. I am NOT a web designer, as I am sure you can tell, so dont expect fancy stuff, I just do what I can, mostly it is designed for a laptop but is readable on a phone. If you notice any thing that does not work like it ought to or if you have any pictures that you would let me include please: |
