Today would have been the 104th birthday of Alec Issigonis, the designer of the Mini. Without him our beloved Minis would not be here   |

A visionary genius with the Ping Pong to follow it all through. Sadly people like that get lost in the modern corporate system and modern cars are designed by committee (and it shows!)

You reminded me that both he and DrAlex Moulton were mostly responsible for both my car, 1100, and the Mini. Our 1100 club main branch, England, was honoured by Moulton's presence late 2013 shortly before he passed. Dr. Alex Moulton |
