The Company shut down producing engine kits in 1974
according to the website for Mini Mk1 owners for information below:
mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk/alexander_e.
"Demise of Alexander
The Demise Of Alexander Engineering. (looks like its from Motor?)
By 1974 the economic depression and the oil crisis had taken it's toll on Alexander Engineering just like it had done on so many other tuning companies.
Their demise was by no means a fast one, in fact Alexander had abandoned modifying cylinder heads back in 1969, but by 1974 they had decided to totally withdraw from the performance tuning market and concentrate on Accessory sales. The company continued in this line of work until it finally closed down in 2001" qv
and the company may be back soon!
"It is rumored that a new incarnation of Alexander engineering will soon be offering a range of classic tuning products again for the first time in 34 years. WATCH THIS SPACE" qv

Built a car for the future (We are still waiting for this type of technology!) the so called STARR CAR of 1967: this was a Experimental high speed guided wheel commuter car photo featured in Camera spread regular feature of Autocar
I only got a photo of vehicle part of a photo spread
See : 11Th May 1967 Autocar (GB) Page 23 Volume 126 Issue 3717
No doubt the likes of Popular Mechanics (US), Popular Science (US) and other publications of similar nature may have more details (I only covered Popular Mechanics from 1946-1956, few in early 1960s - but there are gaps
Where is the company today?
Today they are a very large Fortune 500 company and have fingers in many pies
