Adverts

There's a tiny chance that I'll start a page for adverts. It sort-of sounds like work... While I am considering, perhaps these links can be of use.

Imps in non-Rootes adverts

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.
