thread_title:  Portrait picture 

message: Whether it is fashionable or not in Gillian Bardsley's Official Biography from 2005 on p277 she clearly states that the Austin 1800 was the design he was proudest of, she then explains that this showed him out of touch with the buying public. The comment about him being most proud of the Morris Minor needs a reference otherwise it just seems like the fanciful thoughts of Morris Minor fans. Even with citations about the Morris Minor the additions about the Austin 1800 should not be removed as there is a valid official reference to support them.

I was under the impression that in 1922 Issigonis went from Smyrna to Malta and then to the UK.
The claim having him graduating from Lycée Léonin would be in conflict with the itinerary that he appeared to have followed after he left from Smyrna.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnev (talk • contribs) 00:57, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

message: The sentence "This greatly modified machine was replaced with a radical special completed in 1939, constructed of plywood laminated in aluminium sheeting" doesnt read right. A radical special what? Are there some words missing? Robotics1 22:53, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: “Special” was a colloquial British term for a one-off racing car, frequently home-built.  Issigonis' example was usually referred to as the Lightweight Special. Mr Larrington (talk) 20:51, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
