Oxford OO Hillman Imp Tangerine Metallic

Developed as a direct competitor to the BMC Mini, the Hillman Imp was launched in 1963 and featured an unusual rear 875cc engine with aluminium engine block and cylinder head, rear-wheel drive and a unique opening rear hatch. The second release off the tool, we see it here in a tangerine metallic colour scheme registered MPO 487J from 1970/71. The interior is black while the exterior features a wealth of silver trim. Another authentic detail to the wheel hubs sees them with silver and white finish. The IMP badge is printed in red and silver and the Hillman name is reproduced in silver across the front of the bonnet. Note as well the IMP Super logo in black behind the rear wheel arches.
