Description: Here is a definitive biography of a man who influenced modern car design more than any other, the designer of the Morris Minor and BMC`s front wheel drive trio, the Mini, 1100 and 1800. It takes us from his colourful childhood in Smyrna through his development as an engineer and designer to his glory days withthe Mini and on to his fall from grace at British Leyland where his individualistic approach clashed withthe design philosophy of the day. It is a great story and meticulously researched to make it a must read for any motoring enthusiast or historian.
