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.
