Corvair influence was very strong during development - my Dad who was one of the diecasting engineers (involved with designing the Imp production machinery and tooling) had a trip to US in 61 to see Corvair production, and in 62 to Germany to see NSU and BMW factories. Another 63-67 Imp in /vehicle_525839-Triumph-Herald-1200-Saloon-1962.html - interesting colour. -- Last edit: 2012-08-22 23:50:00
