Tim Morgan bought his first Hillman Imp at the age of 16. Since then, he has owned over 160 Imps, of all kinds.

He joined the Imp Club in the early '90s, and has held positions on its committee, and started its West Kent Area Centre.

During his 30-year association with Imps, he has looked at and assessed hundreds, if now thousands of cars, either with a view to buying them himself, assisting a club member to make a purchase, or valuing a car.

This passion let to a career as a classic car journalist, and to writing this book.
