Zagato, Milan, Italy. This Zagato Prototype is based on the Hillman Imp chassis. It was produced for the 1964 London Motor Show. Only 3 were built. The bodywork was aluminium. It has a standard lightweight Hillman Imp 875cc motor which was developed from the Coventry Climax engine. It is known as the Zimp. Top speed was about 140kph/87mph. Chrysler vetoed turning the prototype into reality as it would have been expensive compared to cars like the Mini Cooper or Sunbeam Stilletto. Nevertheless, a great looking car.
