Thank you for posting this - it hasn’t even been deemed newsworthy on the ABC’s home page.

Yeah, he had a good run. Sadly 'old man dies' in the singular sense isn't newsworthy these days, so thanks Bill M for letting us know.

Not motoring related, but we also just lost a Goodie in Tim Brooke-Taylor to coronavirus:

They were both Goodies...Sterling and Tim....I loved watching the Goodies as a kid .. Bill Oddie and Graham Garden . No lie , one of our Soc Studs teachers at school looked exactly like Graham . It was uncanny how much he did .
Sterling Moss was literally ten feet from me in Targa Tasmania one year . He pulled up in the Mustang right opposite the newsagency where we were standing while waiting for his maintenance crew if I recall to do a couple of jobs on the car in between stages . I wish I had thought to take a camera that day. You'll love this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CoXKnVc8zU.. All three of the greats that drove in the first Targa Tasmania feature in this little documentary here and there ..Mossy , Jack Brabham and Denny Hulme are all now gone... Cheers... |

He was an absolute legend & a true "gentleman".
Sadly we do not see this class of sportsman often these days. RIP Sir Stirling Moss.  :

Remember a news story from my youth (way, way before the internet so no link)
A young copper gave Stirling Moss a ticket for accelerating too fast (in his opinion) from a set of lights. He didn't go over thirty MPH though. Any way, when it got into court the judge threw the case out, saying to the young copper that he was not sufficiently experienced to judge such an experienced driver. |
