THE legal war over Sir Stirling Moss’s fortune is set to end with a blockbuster trial after his children failed to strike a deal for his £20million estate.
We told earlier this month how the Brit racer’s kids – Allison Bradley and Elliot Moss – were preparing for a courtroom fight over the validity of a 2022 will that left the entire family fortune to his daughter.
It meant chef Elliot, 44, was effectively given nothing by both his mother and father.
He contested whether his mum’s last wishes had been obtained under duress after her pals allegedly tricked her and plied her with alcohol.
Elliot says his mother was mentally and physically unwell after consuming huge quantities of booze because of the grief from Sir Stirling’s death aged 90 in 2020.
But Allison, 57, has now insisted she was not impaired by alcohol or tricked by pals when she cut her son out of her £20million estate.

New legal documents obtained by The Sun show Allison insists her stepmother, who died in 2023, knowingly stopped Elliot from getting the cash because he was ungrateful for his life of luxury.
Previous claims said Lady Susie, who died aged 69, was drinking up to two bottles of wine a day.
But in written filings, Allison’s lawyers insist: “Lady Moss confirmed that she was happy to (cut her son out) but warned that Elliot will dispute it and will be furious.”
They added that in meetings there “was no smell of alcohol on Lady Susie’s breath” and “no question that Lady Moss was completely of sound mind and could hold a conversation” with her solicitors and pals.
Allison adds that her stepmother was furious at Elliot and, after signing the will which removed him, is said to have called the dispute “so unfortunate”.
Elliot’s sister insisted he had been given “ample financial support throughout his childhood and adult life… including private education, paying for his wedding and honeymoon (and) a £50,000 cash gift in 2020.
After signing her will, Lady Susie allegedly asked: “What else have I not given him?”
No date for the case has been set at the High Court.
