Lot details
Limited edition fine-art print on archival paper - depicts Moss aboard the Vanwall on the streets of Pescara. On Italy's Adriatic coast, it was one of the heroic pre-war circuits, used only once for a World Championship Grand Prix in the post war years. In 1957, following his historic victory with Tony Brooks at Aintree in July, Stirling Moss underlined the emerging dominance of the British team by winning the race in his Vanwall. He took the lead on lap three from Luigi Musso's Ferrari, and finished three minutes ahead of Fangio's Maserati after 18 tortuous laps of the 16-mile circuit on bumpy, dusty roads with up and down hill twists and turns, village street, hairpins and long engine bursting straights. Mounted alongside a period Moss signature and framed/glazed to a high standard. 46x44cm
