Apex: The Inside Story of the Hillman Imp
David & Peter Henshaw

You never quite know what we’re going to publish next. Actually, this was our first book, back in 1988. The Imp is a greatly misunderstood car, and actually a really nice little machine. If you’ve heard it’s unreliable, it certainly can be, but it’s unreliable in the way a fine racehorse can be unreliable. It’s highly-strung and needs to be cosetted, but it will do whatever you ask if it likes you, and trusts you.
Apex was reprinted in 1990, and we got a bit busy with other things for the next thirty years, then we realised that the Imp had become an iconic masterpiece of 1960s engineering and design for a new generation. So we dusted off the old Amstrad discs (yes, horribly true), reworked the text, brought the story right up to date with two new chapters, added 150 colour photographs, and here’s Apex 3.
