Stirling Moss Scrapbook 1929 - 1954 by Philip Porter
The Stirling Moss Scrapbook 1929-1954 tells the story of the formative years of one of the greatest racing drivers of all time. Moss's meteoric rise through the junior ranks with the little F3 500s, the big break with a borrowed XK120, the highs and lows with HWM when he took on the best in their more powerful Ferraris and shook the big names, the great drives and successes with Jaguar in the T and at Le Mans, missing a Monte Carlo Rally win at the first attempt by mere seconds, the frustrating years when he put patriotism first and soldiered on with inadequate machinery and, finally, 1954 - the year when everything fell into place on the international stage.The Stirling Moss Scrapbook 1929-1954 tells the story of the formative years of one of the greatest racing drivers of all time.
