Gareth Burnett drives a 1938 Alta 2-litre racing car at the 2019 Goodwood Revival
The Alta Car and Engineering Company was a British sports and racing car manufacturer, commonly known simply as Alta. Their cars contested five FIA World Championship races between 1950 and 1952, as well as Grand Prix events prior to this. The company was founded by engineer Geoffrey Taylor in Surbiton, Surrey, and produced its first automobile in 1929. In 1934, Taylor produced the first Alta to be designed solely for competition. The resulting light-weight, off-set single seat voiturette cars achieved quite a reputation in shorter events such as hill-climbs, sprints, and time-trials.
