'Apex: The Inside Story of the Hillman Imp' is the definitive book chronicling the development, launch, and troubled production of the 1960s British economy car. It's a detailed history of this unusual economy car, born from the 1956 Suez fuel crisis. The Henshaw brothers explore the political pressure to build the factory in Scotland, the technical challenges, and the car's cult status today. The story covers the Rootes Group's 'Slug' project, the Linwood factory issues, and various variants from prototype to final production, with a thoroughly updated 2023 edition available. The car had a reputation as a highly-strung, advanced, but often unreliable machine. This third edition from 2023 is heavily updated, with many new colour photos, and details on rare prototypes.
