Answer:Sir Alex Issigonis Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis Full (born Nov 18, 1906, Smyrna [now İzmir] Tu (Died Oct. 2, 1988, Birmingham, England) British car designer who created the best-selling low-cost Mini and the ever-popular Morris Minor.

The son of Greek merchant Issigonis emigrated to London in 1922 during the war between Greece and Turkey. After studying engineering, he joined Morris Motors in 1984. was born in 1936 as a suspension designer. There he developed the Morris Minor, which remained in production from 1948 to 1971. The reliable car with excellent steering and cornering was the first British car to cross one million sales. The surviving models are still a favorite of owners and collectors.

After working elsewhere for a short time in the early 1950s, Issigonis returned to what became British Motor Corp. in 1959, in response to the Suez (1956) energy crisis and the popularity of Germany's Volkswagen Beetle. He introduced the affordable and fuel-efficient box Mini, which uses a transversely positioned engine to drive the front wheels, a radical design at the time and capable of carrying four passengers despite being only 10 feet (3 meters) long. Its practicality and affordability make it an instant hit. By the time Issigonis had died, more than five million had been sold.

Issigonis became a friend of the Royal Society in 1967 and knighted in 1969.

<em>Minnesota, constituent state of the United States of America. It became the 32nd state of the union on May 11, 1858. A small extension of the northern boundary makes Minnesota the most northerly of the 48 conterminous U.S. states. (This peculiar protrusion is the result of a boundary agreement with Great Britain before the area had been carefully surveyed.) Minnesota is one of the north-central states. It is bounded by the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario to the north, by Lake Superior and the state of Wisconsin to the east, and by the states of Iowa to the south and South Dakota and North Dakota to the west. </em>
