A Singer Chamois, a luxury version of the Hillman Imp which launched in 1964. The Hillman Imp was an alternative to BMC’s Mini. Although Hillman was part of the Coventry based Rootes group, the Imp was built in a brand new purpose-built factory in Glasgow relying heavily on the support of the Coventry climax specialist engineers - particularly on the finished engine. Production was constantly troubled with numerous issues, resulting in the Imp never really taking off, and production halting in 1976 after only 500, 000 cars being made. The Singer Chamois differs from the Hillman Imp due to its twin-carburettor engine, which is more powerful than the Imps 875 cc four-cylinder engine.
