HISTORY
Moto-Lita - a thoroughbred through and through
Simon at the Cooper Car Co. circa 1951
"With some trepidation a young boy, just fourteen years old, pushed open the door and stepped into the premises of the famous Cooper Car Company. A short while later, as he donned his overalls and began his apprenticeship, he had no inkling of the success story that would unfold before him. That young boy was Simon Green, founder and managing director of Moto-Lita.
Working for the famous British racing car maker was a dream come true and three years later, having proven his skills, Simon was tasked with making steering wheels for Cooper’s racing cars - a skilled and responsible job that paid the princely sum of eight old pence per hour. Having served his time at Cooper’s, Simon moved on to work with Rodney Clarke and Mike Oliver at Connaught Engineering - makers of club and F2 racing cars - before taking a position with another race-car manufacturer, Hersham & Walton Motors, better known as HWM.
These were exciting times; the heyday of British Motor-sport and Simon Green was a young man in the thick of it. Cooper cars were establishing themselves as a British thoroughbred, Connaught enjoyed a degree of success and HWM were building some innovative cars while establishing one of Britain’s first travelling race teams. Stirling Moss was cutting his race-winning teeth with Cooper and HWM, and Simon was realising that he was truly passionate about high-quality, well-designed and effective steering wheels."
