Next: About this document ... Previous: The Spares Panel |
In addition to our own spares business, the Imp Club Ltd. aims to offer a wide range of advice on spares and services to owners of Hillman Imps and derivatives. In order to do this we have created a Specialist Panel of professionals who have long experience of working with Imps or supplying parts for them.
Information on what is available from the Panel will be reviewed from time to time, as will the accumulated information on alternative parts from other cars and parts re-manufactured or requirements for sourcing. If you know of anyone offering particular services, or yourself wish to feature in this list, please contact the Spares Coordinator.
The following information is given for each panel member.
