We make no apologies for having Stirling Moss - the greatest driver never to have won a World Championship - as one of the first subjects in The Champions series, since he is undoubtedly one of the all-time greats of motor racing. Indeed his name is almost synonymous with the sport itself.
Between 1948 and 1962 he won 16 Grands Prix out of 66 started, drove Aston Martins, Vanwalls, Coopers, Maseratis and Mercedes to name but a few, won thte Mille Miglia in 1955 at an average of over 100 mph and generally drove just about anything, anywhere, faster that just about anyone else.
This is his story, told in his own eloquent words, and liberally illustrated with rare archive material - much of it unseen in the video era. Also featured, action footage of Moss driving no less than 33 different models of racing car, a reflection not only of Stirling's extraordinary career but also of the nostalgic treats which await the viewer of this video.
