Reviews

‘The bookcases of Moss fans will be groaning with the rush of recent titles, but this new one from the man himself and F1 authority Alan Henry offers a welcome angle. From his debut at the ’47 Harrow CC Trial in his Dad’s BMW 328 to the grim ’62 Glover Trophy at Goodwood, the pair list every event he contested.’
