The children of Formula One legend Sir Stirling Moss are locked in a bitter legal dispute over his £20million fortune, it has been reported.
Moss, who is widely regarded as the greatest driver in F1 history never to win a world title, left the majority of his estate to his third wife Lady Susie after he died in April 2020 at the age of 90.
Lady Susie, however, did not leave behind a will when she passed away aged 69 in 2023, prompting a bitter legal row with the icon’s children.
According to the Sun, his daughter Allison Bradley is now taking her half-brother Stirling Elliot Moss to the High Court over the racing driver’s fortune.
Three quarters of Moss’ £22.08m estate, as shown in probate office papers, was due to go to Elliot, 44, while Allison was set to inherit 25 per cent, before no will was left by Lady Susie.
Alisson, 57, is the daughter of the F1 icon’s second wife Elaine Barbarino.

Meanwhile, Elliot — who closed his high-end London restaurant Plu after it was overlooked for a Michelin star last year — previously claimed he was facing homelessness after being left a fraction of his father’s fortune.
After his death, Moss left several gifts to close friends including his favourite paintings, model cars and even a lucky silver-set rabbit’s foot.
An additional £1,000 was set aside for his agent and partner to spend on a meal in Miami at seafood restaurant Joe’s Stone Crab.
During his impressive career, which spanned between 1951 and 1961, Moss won 16 races and finished on the podium 24 times.
He was forced to retire in 1962 after a crash at Goodwood, which left him in a coma for a month and partially paralysed for six months while recovering.
In February, a 1955 Mercedes driven by Moss and fellow F1 great Juan Manuel Fangio was sold at auction for £43m at Sotheby’s, setting a new record for a Grand Prix car.
