  • Alan Mann Racing was a British motor racing team. It was organized by Alan Mann, born in 1937, who was a part time racing driver, but a better team manager. It was based initially in Byfleet Surrey. He ran Ford Zephyr’s and Anglia’s in 1962 under the entrant of Andrews Garage in British Saloon Car races. In 1963 he prepared a Ford Cortina GT under Alan Andrews Racing for Henry Taylor in Racing and Rallying in a quasi Ford Team. His team was included to run a Ford Cortina GT in the Marlboro 12 hour Marlboro Park Speedway USA in August 1963 with express purpose of winning its class, as Volvo was reaping publicity from a string of victories. His Cortina driven by Henry Taylor and Jimmy Blumer came second to another Cortina of John Willment Automobiles driven by Jack Sears and Bob Olthoff, which won the race overall. This made an impression on John Holman of Holman & Moody Fords top racing team in USA who had already sold Willment a Ford Galaxie and this subsequently attracted more of Ford’s attention. For 1964 Alan Mann Racing became a top Ford Factory Team with the racing colours of Red and Gold.
