Stirling Moss's Grand Prix Masterpieces by Sir Stirling Moss Obe

This collection of motor racing literature is intended to provide an insight into the mind and skills of the competition driver. Classic races ranging from Formula One to Le Mans are covered, and characters described include heroes of the 1930s to more recent drivers such as Senna and Mansell.

Sir Stirling Moss is a national treasure. Arguably the world's greatest all-round racing driver, he was a hero to several generations of schoolboys and enthusiasts throughout the world. Moss is now so iconic his name is often used as a metaphor for racing driver - the name alone invokes mental images of speed, bravado, the jet-set lifestyle and a bevy of beauties with whom to live it. By 1961 his career was at its peak; absolutely at the top of his game, a charismatic sportsman famous across the world.

Simon Taylor has been immersed in motor sport for more than 50 years as a journalist, commentator, publisher and historian. He joined the weekly magazine Autosport straight from university, and was its editor by the age of 23. He became a publisher for its proprietors, Haymarket Magazines, devising and launching other car magazines such as What Car? and Classic & Sports Car, and went on to be the company's Managing Director and then its Chairman. He was BBC Radio's voice of motor racing for more than 20 years, reporting on Formula 1 from all over the world, and has done a variety of TV commentary and presentation work. He has a small collection of classic cars, and competes in historic motor sport with his ex-Stirling Moss 1950 HWM.

Lewis Hamilton is the 2014 Formula One World Champion.
