As the designer of the iconic Mini, the stylish 1100, and the legendary Morris Minor, his ingenious and effective designs had a deep, lasting influence on the evolution of the motor car and on the wider history of industrial design. Motoring historian Jonathan Wood's candid and meticulously researched account of Sir Alec's public and private faces is the product of over 30 years of research, and includes interviews of many of Issigonis's former colleagues and friends.

"The Man Who Made The Mini" gives a balanced view of this remarkable, immensely talented man, with a behind-the-scenes impression of the personal and corporate struggles within the declining British car industry. Hardback, 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches, 300 pages, b&w photos, published 2005.
