Stirling Stuff
Latest gem to be unearthed in the search for 948s is a Litchfield Green and Sebring White Coupe Y685.
Specially marked in the build registers (names and dealers were only really marked in the despatch records) for a Mr S Moss!
Could this have been a Stirling Moss owned car I wonder?
Probably.
He got a speeding ticket in "his" Herald coupe in the Mersey Tunnel after the British GP at Aintree - "who do you think you are, sonny? Stirling Moss?"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I assumed it was a publicity loan car, but perhaps not..... Mike Costigan
