If I recall correctly the very early Minis were badged as the Morris Mini Minor and Austin se7en.Although[as they say]beauty is in the eye of the beholder I'd agree that the mini is better looking than the Imp apart of course from the coupe versions of the Imp-the Californian and [I think]the Stiletto[?]

I went round for years thinking the BMW 1 series saloon reminded me of something, but I was never sure what... Then I saw a Hilman Imp, and it all clicked into place.

A little off-topic, but back in the 70s I had a friend who took the engine out of his Imp almost as often as he changed his socks! It was dead easy, of course, not taking more than a generous 5 minutes: the gearbox linkage was a different matter.....
