Arthur Mallock (1918-1993) was an English engineer and race-car manufacturer best known for “making incredibly simple cars go incredibly quickly”, so said Piers Courage (F1 driver of late 1960’s and early 1970’s).
Described as “the man most responsible for making motor racing accessible to the man in the street” by Paul Lawrence (who subsequently wrote the book “The Lone Furrow”) His Mallock U2 racing cars have provided, affordable, accessible and competitive racing cars and a bedrock to British motorsport since the late 1950’s which continue to win in both historic and contemporary motorsport events today.
As well as his prolific contribution to grass roots motorsport, Arthur had a less well known, somewhat secretive career in the world of electronics both for the Army and Her Majesty’s Government, which he only retired from in 1980 when he was 62.
