Sir Stirling Moss left his wife Lady Susie Moss the majority of his fortune in 2020 before she passed away in 2023
The children of the late Formula 1 legend Sir Stirling Moss are embroiled in a legal tussle over his £20million estate. His daughter, Allison Bradley, is taking her half-brother, Stirling Elliot Moss, to the High Court over a probate dispute.
Their father passed away in April 2020, leaving most of his wealth to his third wife, Lady Susie. However, when she died in 2023 at the age of 69, Elliot was poised to inherit 75 per cent of their fortune, with Allison set to receive the remaining 25 per cent.

Probate office documents reveal that Sir Stirling, who resided in Mayfair, left behind £22.08million, not including his US assets.
The F1 star left his mates gifts, paintings, model cars and a lucky silver-set rabbit’s foot. An additional £1,000 was allocated for his agent and partner to splurge on a meal at Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami.
Sir Stirling, who was knighted in 2000, raced in Formula 1 from 1951 to 1961 and is considered one of the greatest drivers never to clinch the F1 championship.
He triumphed in 16 races and secured 24 podium finishes, proving himself a highly versatile driver, winning 212 of his 529 career races in various cars.
The 1961 Monaco Grand Prix is hailed as one of his most remarkable victories, where he triumphed in his Lotus against speedier Ferraris.
He also set a new course record in the 1955 Mille Miglia, a gruelling 1,000-mile race around Italy.
Sir Stirling was compelled to retire in 1962 following a horrific crash at Goodwood that left him in a coma for a month and partially paralysed for six months before making a recovery. The lion’s share of his wealth was amassed from his illustrious racing career.
His son, Elliot, recently shut down Plu, a posh London restaurant, after it failed to secure a Michelin star last year.
Previously, he had expressed that his modest inheritance had left him on the brink of homelessness, having been left a six-figure sum in his father’s original will.
Half-sister Allison is the offspring of Sir Stirling’s second wife, Elaine Barbarino, an American PR executive.
