 | | Cliff Allison, who has collapsed and died, aged 73, while driving near his home, was a member of that elite band of British racing drivers to be recruited by the Ferrari formula one team. |
 | | Allison came closest to winning a world championship at the wheel of a spindly little Lotus 12 in the 1958 Belgian grand prix, on the daunting Spa-Francorchamps road circuit. |
 | | Allison raced at a time when they were meagrely rewarded, and recounted how he made the gruelling trip from Cumbria to Maranello on a fortnightly basis. |
