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 countless enthusiasts throughout the world. He is still held 

in the highest esteem and is mobbed whenever he attends events.

He was one of the first of the jet-setters, living a glamorous life of high 

octane motor sport and beautiful women. He only had to be seen with a 

fabulous female twice and all the papers would be reporting they were 

engaged. If he sneezed, the Press wrote about it. He was the Beckham of his 

era.

The year 1955 was a truly remarkable one for Stirling Moss. Yet to really 

establish himself at the highest levels after gamely persevering with 

uncompetitive British machinery, he finished the year second only to the 

great Fangio in the World Championship and a household name, a mega-star. 

If there had been a world championship for sports cars, he would have won 

it by a handsome margin for he recorded some extraordinary victories in 

possibly his greatest year.

In 1955, Moss won his first Grand Prix, won the uniquely gruelling Targa 

Florio, won the classic Tourist Trophy for the third time and, most amazing 

of all, brilliantly won the Mille Miglia, the sensationally dangerous 1,000 

mile race around the roads of Italy, reaching over 170mph!

This book is a light-hearted look at the fun, the excitement, the 

lifestyle, the racing, the people, the challenges, the tragedies, the

victories, the women...
