V8 in an Imp sounds great but mad, they did seem to have an attraction with some folks they used to be popular among some saloon racers as well

Even though the front end tended to lift above 60mph! We had a paving slab in the front of ours to keep it down. And for you young folk, petrol was 30p a gallon (around 4.5 litres) so we didn't care about fuel economy!

My first car was a Singer Chamois, seems we have a kind of Imp thing going here.
It was so light on the front. I discovered that a violent jab of the brakes helped the fronts bite and get you round islands.
But that only worked when it was running. If you've owned an Imp you'll know all about head gaskets.
Brilliant all aluminium engine with twin Stromberg carburettors, but underdeveloped. Was used I think in racing boats, so the Climax crossover is not to weird.
Mine cost £325. 3 years old on an E (1967). Can't recall what I got for it as part xd for a new Mini 1000 Yuck in yuck yellow. Still it smelt new and cost a little over £800 if I recall right
