Ann Wisdom


Ann Marie Wisdom was a female rally driver, better known as a navigator.

Career

During the late 1950s and early 1960s, she was well known as a navigator for Pat Moss, the sister of Sir Stirling Moss. Their partnership ensured them to compete at the same level as the men. In 1962, she ended her rally career in order to start a family, marrying the gentleman rally driver, Peter Riley. Pat bounced back, hiring erstwhile driver Pauline Mayman to navigate.

Personal life

Ann was the daughter and only child of professional racers Tommy Wisdom and Elsie Wisdom.
In 1962, shortly after retiring, she married rally driver Peter Riley in Worthing and remained married until her death on October 14, 2015, exactly seven years after the death of Pat Moss. Peter died just under a year later, in July 2016.
During their marriage, Ann and Peter had two children, Tim and Jenny.
