Dear Morris Minor
Like you I think Gordon England was
a remarkable racer, engineer, marketeer, inventor
and businessman and since quite a few
In the Austin fraternity actually met him before
He died, there would be oral history to collect as well.
Perhaps a set of chapter headings could be suggested
And volunteers sought to research and write up each one?
I know some people have original material that came from
GE himself plus Motorsport and other period publications
Are now machine searchable.
I’m especially interested in his business life
which had its ups and downs, especially in America
at the time of the crash.
His factories produced at least 3000 cars/vans
so comparable to Lotus and TVR today?
I’ll try and put a set of chapter headings together
to tempt other anoraks!
Kind regards
Bill G
