Does anyone remember these cars? Appropriately there was a connection between Dr Alex Moulton and Jem Marsh in the 1960s Mini Marcos sportscar, which even competed in the Le Mans 24hour motor-race.

]]> Comment on Alex Moulton’s Autobiography by Brian http://www.moultonbuzz.com/2010/02/alex-moulton-autobiography/comment-page-1/#comment-835 Brian Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:41:18 +0000 http://www.moultonbuzz.com/?p=506#comment-835 Just finished this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is the best of Alex's engineering archives and must have taken a great deal of time to put together. The development of hydrolastic suspension with Alec Issigonis in particular is quite un-putdownable. There are hundreds of fascinating design sketches and proper engineering drawings, most that have not been in the public domain before. These show the genesis and development of each of Alex's main lines of work. I think that the classic Moulton bicycle was not so difficult for him but the hydrolastic and hydragas were really complex and significant, and will surely re-emerge at some stage. Lots of fun stuff about steam cars and boats. Revealing insights about the relationship with Raleigh and BMC. Not a conventional auto-biography but in fact, better. This is the exploration and exposition of an engineering method, driven by experiment, logic and relentless innovation. Highly recommended. Just finished this book and thoroughly enjoyed it.
