Issigonis - Austin 7 Ulster

Post by mab01uk »

Nice photo below of Issigonis as a young man in his modified 1932 Austin Seven Ulster.
Alec gave this photo as a present to Suzanne Johns who worked with Alec Issigonis for 17 years from April 1960 and as his personal secretary from 1966.
These photos and Suzanne Johns interview were published in the September 2016 edition of Miniworld magazine.
