The Hillman Imp V8 raced here in Australia was built and driven by Harry Lefoe in the Sport Sedan series around 1973 to 1978. It was fitted with a full house Ford Cobra motor.

Thanks Bomm
From what I remember Harry Lefoe was an earthmoving contractor around Albury-Wodonga area. A few more Imps ran rotary's and Rob Webster in Melbourne ran 1 with a type 4 vw motor out of a kombi. |

Harry Lefoe
Thanks heaps Bomn, Oran park 1971, I was probably there (Robin Orlando was the family favourite) What a a great shot! Opposite lock sliding looks like a lot of fun, wish we could see the grin on Harry's face

Not a V8 but a Group 2 version at Silverstone in 71.
