My first car was an NSU Prinz (very similar to Hilman imp)
Same stories, Sandbags in the front to keep the nose on the tarmack.
I changed the engine once - very easy to do, but must have had some bits left over, I was driving along, "lost" 4th gear, carried on, "lost" 3rd", started to get a bit concerned, heard an almighty bang followed my scraping noise, got out to find engine (still running) sitting on the road under the car !
Jacked it up, re-did the bolts and drove home !
