Stirling Moss and his partner play with slot cars in this 60-year-old news footage
While you gaze longingly at your Christmas gifts, watch Stirling Moss play with his slot car racing set for his birthday in this classic British Pathé video.
Perhaps you’ll be lucky enough as Stirling Moss, who gets his own electric racing set as a birthday present in ‘Stirling Moss at Home’ (1958).
Using a Ferrari, the 29-year-old ends up overtaking his Maserati-wielding partner a number of times as his father Alfred Moss watches on. Alfred Moss then presents his son a small wooden cup for his victory and the presenter focuses on Stirling working on a small model car – his new hobby.
That season, Stirling Moss was no stranger to victory having taken four wins and a podium to finish runner-up in the 1958 Grand Prix season.
