Summary

Sir Stirling Moss, OBE, was a legendary British racing driver. In this collection we hear - in his own words - about his family and upbringing, on starting out and his early career choices and why he became a racing driver.

He discusses being a businessman, his relationships and the bittersweet feelings that occur with racing. He also touches on the many dangers involved with the sport, including the loss of friends. Stirling talks about his crash in 1962 - including his injuries and recuperation - as well as his celebrity lifestyle, his continuing popularity and reaching 70.

The clips included are taken from: Face to Face, BBC TV (first broadcast 12th June 1960); Panorama, BBC TV (first broadcast 16th July 1962); Outlook, BBC Radio (first broadcast 21st May 1974); Profile, first broadcast BBC Radio 4 (21st October 1979) The Colin Berry Programme, BBC Radio 1 (first broadcast 24th March 1980); Stirling at 70, BBC Radio 4 (first broadcast 17th September 1999); A Stirling Effort, BBC Radio 4 (first broadcast 5th November 2004).
