In the final instalment of a two-part series, Mark Fogarty speaks to four-time Bathurst winner and motorsport legend Allan Moffat about the final years of his illustrious career.
Of i ever get the chance to meet this genuine legend, all i could probably say is thank you for your efforts and honesty. A rare human by todays standards.
Always found him to be an absolute Gentleman, really in my eyes the first true professional in Australian Motor Sport! there were two Allan's, the one at the track was very different to the guy privately, if he didn't win the races things would become very tight until the next wins! Talk about A FOCUSED INDIVIDUAL! Total Respect!
His intensity is what made him the competitor he is, he may not have been the most likable bloke back in the early days, but he sure did give it a shake whenever he was on track. I was never a Moffat fan back when I was growing up but the media were trying to make him out to be John McEnroe, and he just wasn't, as an adult looking back at the history, watching these interviews, you get to realize how much of a true gentleman he was.
I'm a holden guy but Alan Moffat is someone who I look up to and respect greatly.
That's a beautiful photo of Moffat & Brock at the Citizenship Ceremony.
What a humble gentleman
Thank U Mr Alan Moffat
I'm very happy that I have met this man!

A true gentleman and a legend. thankyou Mr Moffat for so much inspiration
One of my all time hero's.
He was in my humble opinion a silent achiever ....
What a champ, as kids we had wallpaper in 78 with him and his Cobra
I'm glad that Moffat is Australian
Was Canadian??
He's an Australian now.
@crimsonwizard01 I’ve got it
@@rowanparmiter7622

Even now I can sense his determination, drive and discipline.... he must have been a hard man

Dick Johnson Allen Moffat Peter Brock would have to be heroes in that eara
The Moff, a great Aussie.
Just a great racing car driver, and statesman ,of motor racing this man can drive.
I'm sure that Mr.Moffat's been forgiven for his intense persona.

@crimsonwizard01 I only appreciated Alan after he left the sport sadly, the media made him into a villain when he really wasn't, he was a good guy.
Holden man myself but man ow man Alan could chuck a Ford around
Think he holds dual Australian and Canadian citizenship
