The Vision of Issigonis
‘I thought we had to do something better than the bubble cars. I thought we should make a very small car for the housewife that was economical to run with lots of shopping space inside which didn’t need a big boot.’

Alec also once said that designing a small car presented a much greater challenge than designing a large car. ‘Mr Royce had nothing to do,’ he noted, perhaps tongue-in-cheek.
And finally what the Mini designer famously said to Italian stylist Pinin Farina
‘In two years’ time your car will be like old lady’s clothes – out of fashion. My car will still be in fashion when I am dead.’
