Two years after the successful launch on the Hillman Imp, the Commer Imp was launched in November 1965.At a cost of £ 408 including tax.
The little van was spartan and sturdy, with the Mark 1 version having no front grille,, a single swivelling quarter light, no carpet, no temprature gauge, and only one sun visor, thicker wheels and stronger front bumpers.
The van isn't just a windowless estate, it was redesigned - one of the criteria being that it had to be tall enough to transport milkchurns. The body is extended over the engine bay which results in a high floor, which in turn necessitated a high roofline. The floor was flat and the rear loading door was top-hinged.
The commercial Imp was fitted with a low compression engine, but power only fell to 36bhp. It could run on the cheapest grade of fuel. The driveshafts were uprated and it got the new 6¼" clutch (which was developed with a van in mind).
To cope with the extra weight over the tail, the van used both heavy-duty crossply tyres and stronger wheels (12" x 4"J). As it was build to take a 5cwt (350 kg)
