The Austin was powered by a Hillman Imp engine coupled to standard A7 transmission and wheels. I have often wondered why the Imp engine was not more widely used.

Why the Imp engine is not used?.....  well they had a really bad name for head gasket reliability, and they were a long time ago. And there was no easy gearbox to use.
