Some companies used Imps in their adverts, either because they got good results in competition, e.g. Koni, or because the Imp may stand for the underdog.
General Accident ran a TV advert in the seventies, which stars John Cleese.
Two cars reverse into the same parking space with the inevitable result. One car is a red Ford Escort and the other is a yellow Hillman Imp basic, YDP 171J. The Imp ends up with a mis-shapen engine cover, while the Escort suffers a bent bumper, dented boot and smashed rear window.
In the early nineties there was an advert featuring a Singer Chamois for Mail on Sunday.
