#26 – 1971

 

Suspension change

 

The suspension system, designed by Issigonis's friend Dr. Alex Moulton at Moulton Developments Limited, used compact rubber cones instead of conventional springs. This space-saving design also featured rising progressive-rate springing of the cones, and provided some natural damping, in addition to the normal dampers. Built into the subframes, the rubber cone system gave a raw and bumpy ride accentuated by the woven-webbing seats, but the rigidity of the rubber cones, together with the wheels' positioning at the corners of the car, gave the Mini go kart-like handling.

The original suspension of the mini was replaced by the hydrolastic system. The new suspension gave a softer ride, but it also increased weight and production cost. In 1971, the original rubber suspension reappeared and was retained for the remaining life of the Mini.

 

Question.

The suspension system was designed by Issigonis's friend Dr. ???? Moulton (Substitute numbers for the 4 letters in his name where A=1, B=2 etc., then add up the total of the 4 numbers = YZ)
