Nope but always wanted one. Drove a Clan Crusader a few years ago which had an Imp engine in it - absolute screamer! Love the engine and love the look of Imps so still want to own.

Co-owned one in 1978 which was fun to drive. Surprisingly heavy to push any distance which happened a couple of times. Once was the gearstick snapping off whilst selecting reverse, probably not a common occurrence. Second time was the dreaded head gasket issue that they were notorious for. If any Imp has survived this long I'm sure it will have had that issue resolved.

I have a car mate called Tim who has quite a quick and nicely sorted 1970s 911 on EFI. But he hankers after the Imp he sold to buy it, says it was the better car to drive...

My mate has had a few over the years, can be a handful in the wet, but definitely a good car.
Any particular reason you're fancying rear engined?

Anyone here owned a hillman IMP?
I'm feinding for one and they still seem pretty affordable.
Rear engine goodness
