It was with great sadness that we learned earlier this week of the death of Brit motor racing hero Alan Mann, aged 75.
Mann started his team in the early 1960s, winning all sorts of championships in sports cars and touring cars throughout the decade, and the red-and-gold livery his cars wore became one of the most distinctive.
Although Mann campaigned many sports and GT cars, it's his Ford touring cars that he'll be best remembered for, particularly the Cortina and Escort - it was an Alan Mann Cortina that scooped the 1965 European Touring Car Championship, driven by Sir John Whitmore.
Plenty of other big names took the wheel of Alan Mann Racing cars, too, including Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Carroll Shelby and Frank Gardner. It's Gardner that helps us celebrate Mann's life here, with a photo taken in 1968 at the Nurburgring. RIP Alan.
