Y2K Stirling Moss 1954 winning Aintree Trophy Race Liverpool in a Masserati motor car racing
Stirling Moss became a legend in motor racing. In the 1950s his name was synonomous with the sport in Britain. What Stanley Matthews was to football, Stirling Moss was to motor racing. (Born 1929, London.) However, despite his popularity and wealth of talent, Moss never won the World Drivers Championship. Some have claimed that this was because he loved motor racing too much - he wanted to race too many types of cars - never concentrating on Grand Prix racing. First GP - Swiss, 1951. He was team mate to Fangio - possibly the greatest ever Grand Prix driver, first with Maserati, then Mercedes, then again Maserati. Over these three years Fangio won the Championship three times. Moss was runner up to Fangio on each occasion. Moss came close on one more occasion, but again came second, this time to the British driver, Mike Hawthorn, by one point. His career ended on Easter Monday, 1962, after a high speed crash at Goodwood. His famous lucky No. 7 car was not seen in a Formula One Grand Prix again, although he did return to saloon car racing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a defining moment in the career of Stirling Moss, one of the most iconic figures in motor racing history. In this image, taken during the Y2K Stirling Moss 1954 winning Aintree Trophy Race in Liverpool, Moss can be seen triumphantly steering a Masserati motor car to victory. Moss's name became synonymous with British motor racing during the 1950s, earning him comparisons to football legend Stanley Matthews. Despite his immense popularity and undeniable talent behind the wheel, Moss never managed to clinch the coveted World Drivers Championship title. Some attribute this to his insatiable love for racing various types of cars rather than focusing solely on Grand Prix events. During his illustrious career, which began with his first Grand Prix race in Switzerland in 1951 alongside legendary driver Fangio as teammates, Moss consistently finished as runner-up to Fangio three times over three years. He came agonizingly close on another occasion but ultimately fell short by just one point against fellow British driver Mike Hawthorn. Tragedy struck on Easter Monday in 1962 when a high-speed crash at Goodwood abruptly ended Moss's Formula One journey. Although he never returned to compete in a Grand Prix again, he did make a comeback in saloon car racing. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Stirling Moss's remarkable contributions to motorsport and immortalizes him as an enduring legend within the industry.
