Alan Mann Racing was a British motor racing team founded by the late Alan Mann in 1964, who was a part-time racing driver and team manager. The team ran a substantial part of the Ford works racing effort in Europe until 1969, when it ceased operations. It was based in Byfleet, Surrey, near the Brooklands race circuit.
They won numerous major championships including the British Saloon Car Championship, the European Touring Car Challenge and the FIA World GT Championship for Manufacturers, all with a variety of specially prepared Ford cars. Many of the leading race and rally drivers of the time were employed by Alan Mann Racing, including Sir John Whitmore, Jacky Ickx, Bosse Ljungfeldt, Graham Hill, Frank Gardner , Sir Jackie Stewart and Bruce McLaren.
Alan Mann Racing was also involved in film and TV work, perhaps most notably building the iconic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for the film of the same name, as well as pre-production work for the Steve McQueen film, Le Mans.
40 years after it was founded Alan Mann resurrected the team for historic racing. Regularly attending events such as Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed. Alan Mann passed away in 2012 but not before he had sown the seed for his sons, Tom and Henry to fully revive the company.
