The acorn theory proposes and I will bring evidence for the claim that you and I and every single person is born with a defining image. Individuality resides in a formal cause—to use old philosophical language going back to Aristotle. We each embody our own idea, in the language of Plato and Plotinus. And this form, this idea, this image does not tolerate too much straying. The theory also attributes to this innate image an angelic or daimonic intention, as if it were a spark of consciousness; and, moreover, holds that it has our interest at heart because it chose us for its reasons.

072 Hillman Imp (1966) FNT 481 D by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Hillman Imp (1963-76) Engine 875 cc S4 OC Production 440,032 Registration Number FNT 481 D (Shropshire) HILLMAN SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623789458598... Developed under the project name Apex by the Rootes Group to take on the BMC Mini, though the Imp arrived 4 years later than the Mini. Powered by an all aluminium 875cc rear mounted engine . With version badge engineered as Singer and Sunbeam. Rootes had been given a Government grant for a new assembly plant and a stake in a brand new Pressed Steel plant to be built in Linwood, Glasgow then an employment black spot. But production was beset with stoppages and costs incurred in producing the engine casting at Linwood then transporting them to Ryton, Coventry to be machined and assembled before transporting back to Linwood for to be put in the cars, a return journey of 600 miles. Despite these problems the Imp did prove popular, though not as much as the Mini and the extra cost made them barely profitable Diolch am 97,835,278 o olygiadau gwych, mae pob un ohonynt yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi'n fawr.

Hillman was the British Rootes Group’s mainstream car brand; the Imp (pictured) was their small, rear-engined car built at Linwood in Scotland. Italian coachbuilder Zagato saw possibilities for a car with Imp mechanicals, styled by them with an aluminium bodyshell. The prototype Zimp was presented at the 1964 Earl's Court Motor Show, but Chrysler, who had a 50% shareholding in Rootes, vetoed the project, and the Zimp went no further.
