Stirling Moss 1961 (Standard Edition)

The second in this very popular, ground-breaking series based on Sir Stirling’s own scrapbooks, diaries and personal albums.

1961 was a brilliant year for the maestro who famously triumphed at Monaco and the Nurburgring over the more powerful Ferraris in his aging Rob Walker Lotus.  Moss also enjoyed his seventh win in the classic TT and was spotted with a positive catwalk of glamorous ladies, much to the delight of the world's press..

Packed full of period photos and cuttings, spiced with Sir Stirling’s forthright comments, accounts of races and snippets of information, this book has all the atmosphere of early ‘60s racing.

Whether you read it from cover to cover or dip in and out, this superb new book will delight.
