	George Abecassis - Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		Apparently George's particularly favourite pastime was dropping S.O.E. agents behind enemy lines.
		Having been relatively successful with an Alta in club races during the years immediately prior to the war it was perhaps natural that when hostilities ceased he became involved in the ongoing development of the marque and he took delivery of the first Alta Grand Prix car (GP1) in 1948.
		With the Alta proving to be less than successful George decided to join forces with a close friend, John Heath.

		Born in Chertsey, Surrey, Abecassis began racing in 1935 in a modified Austin Seven but really made a name for himself when he switched to driving one of Geoffrey Taylor's improved voiturette Altas.
		George was running a small engineering company at the time working on performance cars and, with the Alta proving less than successful, George went into partnership with John Heath at Hersham and Walton Motors in Surrey.
		Abecassis drove an HMW in two Grands Prix, both in Switzerland in 1951 and 1952, but the team relied more on Moss and Lance Macklin.
