The Stirling Moss Scrapbook 1955 is packed with intriguing detail, superb illustrations and a plethora of period cuttings from around the world. Throughout his career he created his personal scrapbooks, several volumes per year, and he kept a diary and photo albums, too. This book dips into his personal records and is spiced throughout with treasures to delight and fascinate. These are supplemented by period comments and many of his anecdotes. Moss has a fund of stories and is refreshingly non-PC!

The year 1961 heralded a new era for motor racing with the introduction of Formula One. It was a double challenge for Stirling Moss, who was still recovering from the accident that had almost killed him the year before. Yet, a rested and refreshed Moss relished the challenge. In this season of change, he drove Lotuses, Ferraris, Coopers, and Porsches, and found time to court a succession of glamorous women, much to the delight of the world's press!

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 TT 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.
