via German Car Scene by Warren M on 9/14/09

Racing driver Stirling Moss celebrates his 80th birthday on 17 September 2009. He drove for Mercedes-Benz in one season, 1955 – an unforgettable year for the brand owing to the many, many triumphs. Though an accident put an end to Moss’ career in 1962 and he never succeeded in capturing a world champion's title, he is regarded as a phenomenal driver. And to this day he sees himself as an ambassador of motorsport.
