We were all very sad at Motor Sport to hear about Sir Stirling Moss’ accident at his London home on Saturday evening.
Sir Stirling has broken both ankles, four bones in his feet and chipped four vertebrae after his lift malfunctioned. The door, which should have stayed shut, opened when the lift was a floor above and he fell three floors down the lift shaft.
With the assistance of Professor Sid Watkins, Sir Stirling was moved from the Royal London Hospital to one near his home where he underwent surgery on both ankles, which were plated and pinned. Sir Stirling is now comfortable in hospital, but it is expected that he will take up to six weeks to recover.
Everyone at Motor Sport sends their regards and wishes him all the best for a speedy recovery.
My hopes for a speedy recovery to Sir Stirling and my best wishes to Lady Moss.
get well soon moss :(
I’m sure that I am only one of millions who will be wishing Sir Stirling a very speedy recovery. I’m equally sure that every one of them will be totally heartfelt.
Mr Moss, you are an example to us all, bungee jumping in a lift shaft at 80! Get well soon old fella, maybe some less extreme adrenalin sports in the future!
I am certain I speak for all Australian motor sport fans in wishing Strirling a quick and complete recovery.
Oh and Stirling; next time, take the stairs!
I wish from all the motor racing fans from Milano a very “speedy” recover to Sir Stirling, one of my living heroes!!! Racing Hugs from Italy!

Russell Brockbank would have been able to perfectly encapsulate the latest of Stirling Moss’ accidents landing him in hospital. All I can say is how amazed I am at his sterling luck and I hope the hospital has good curry!
