In this personal narrative, Stirling Moss shares his motor racing journey, enriched by over 300 captivating photographs, many of which will surprise even his most devoted fans. He reflects on his childhood, his rise to fame as 'Mr Motor Racing,' and the abrupt end of his career following a crash at Goodwood in 1962. The book highlights both his triumphs and challenges, showcasing nearly 100 different cars he drove throughout his dynamic racing life. Moss began in 1948 with 500cc Coopers, gaining recognition with HWM, ERA, and Cooper F2 cars, eventually driving his own F1 Maserati 250F. The 1955 season with Mercedes is a standout, featuring victories in the Mille Miglia and the British Grand Prix. His desire to succeed with British cars led to two remarkable F1 seasons with Vanwall (1957–58), where he narrowly missed the World Championship, alongside sports car achievements with Aston Martin. He also raced rear-engined Cooper and Lotus F1 cars with Rob Walker (1958–62), including two memorable wins at the Monaco GP. The diverse range of sports cars he drove included Jaguars, Maseratis, Ferraris, and Porsches, among others. His busy career also saw him rallying with Sunbeams, record-breaking at Bonneville, and even kart racing. This book commemorates the 60th anniversary of Moss's legendary 1955 Mille Miglia victory, with a foreword by 2014 Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton.
