Alex Moulton

Alexander Eric Moulton (9 April 1920 – 9 December 2012)[1] was an English engineer and inventor, specialising in suspension design.

His friend Alec Issigonis heard of this work and together they designed a fluid and rubber suspension for a new Alvis car, which did not reach production.

[citation needed] After the family business was acquired by the Avon Rubber Company in 1956,[11] Moulton established Moulton Developments Limited to design the suspension system for British Motor Corporation's new small car, the Mini, that was being designed by Issigonis.

[12] Moulton was appointed Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1976 New Year Honours for services to industry.

[15] Under Moulton's will, the Grade I listed Hall – along with investments, land, outbuildings and cottages – was gifted to a charitable trust.
