don't like that tartan cloth. Nor the price If I was spending £375,000 I certainly wouldn't buy a replica of anything, let alone such an iconic car. Moss and Jenks achievement in the Mille Miglia was the stuff of legends and it is great to see him back in the car.

www.petrolicious.comThis site has some great stuff incuding an interview with Moss re the race. A pretty good website with some nice stuff. Moss speaks about the build quality of the Merc being a key factor as faster rivals dropped out due to longer pitstops and problems. Jinks' toilet roll pace notes was also a huge factor! The video shows Moss driving what I think is the original car supplied bt Mercedes?
