This fabulous book tells the story of the Lotus 18 which Stirling Moss achieved two of his most famous Grand Prix victories. The first World Championship race of the 1½-litre Formula 1 era introduced for 1961 was the Monaco Grand Prix and Ferrari’s powerful new ‘shark-nose’ cars were expected to dominate it, but Moss used all his craft and guile to take a celebrated win in his Lotus 18.

The first World Championship race of the 1½-litre Formula 1 era introduced for 1961 was the Monaco Grand Prix and Ferrari’s powerful new ‘shark-nose’ cars were expected to dominate it, but Moss used all his craft and guile to take a celebrated win in his Lotus 18. Although Ferrari did prove to be the dominant force that season, Moss scored a second success in this same car, chassis number 912, at the Nürburgring, a race that turned out to be the last World Championship Formula 1 victory of his career. The car’s entire 1961 season, and its subsequent life, is covered in fascinating detail in this ‘Great Cars’ book, supported by a fine collection of period photographs.

An in-depth account of the dramatic 1961 Monaco Grand Prix includes Stirling Moss’s recollections of his win in his Rob Walker-entered Lotus 18, which famously raced with its side panels removed.

Key content

  • The car’s seven other World Championship Formula 1 races of the 1961 season covered in full, with special focus on Moss’s victory in the German Grand Prix.
  • A third race success came in 1961 when Moss won the non-championship Modena Grand Prix.
  • Insights into Rob Walker Racing, the most successful ‘privateer’ team in Formula 1 history, including the recollections of mechanic Tony Cleverly.
  • For the 1962 season, the car passed to Count Volpi’s Scuderia SSS Repubblica di Venezia team and took part in five non-championship races, achieving a best result of sixth place for Nino Vaccarella in the Pau Grand Prix.
  • Later life, including a spell in Tom Wheatcroft’s Donington Collection.
  • Nearly 300 period images, many previously unpublished, supported by a portfolio of studio photography.
  • Limited Edition

    Limited to just 100 copies signed by author Ian Wagstaff and Tony Cleverly, the Rob Walker Racing team Mechanic.

    Great, well-fitting basic!
    Color: Beige, Size: Medium
    I love, love, love these basic tanks. They fit true to size. They’re really soft and comfortable and they’re such a great value. I have them in at least five or six colors. They look great on their own or under a cardigan.

    Light weight, not thick or bulky, versatile, and perfect!
    Color: White, Size: Small
    Throw out all the tank tops you own cause this is the only tank top you will need from here on out. It is absolutely perfect. Let’s just say they understood the assignment. It is form fitting and pairs perfectly with lightweight sweaters that might be slightly sheer or even the new crochet type of open sweaters that need a tank underneath. It is the perfect stretch, perfect material and dressy enough to be worn on its own and upgraded with some jewelry and some classy jeans and has just enough sheen to look dressy and not like you’re wearing a workout top. I love , love this and it is my go to tank!

    Comfortable, flattering wardrobe staple
    Color: White, Size: Small, Color: White, Size: Small
    I’ve tried a lot of basics, and this ANRABESS sleeveless scoop neck tank exceeded expectations. The fabric feels soft and breathable with a nice amount of stretch, and it has a flattering fit without being too tight or restrictive. The scoop neckline is classic and versatile, making it easy to layer or wear on its own. Stitching and construction appear well made, and it held up nicely after washing with no shrinking or loss of shape. Great quality for a basic essential, and a piece I can see reaching for often. Highly recommend.

    The length is perfect. Nice and long.
    Color: Yellow, Size: X-Large
    These tanks are the perfect length. I love how they fit and feel. I bought these in 5 colors. Although, if you want to keep them long, I suggest hanging them to dry. Putting them in the dryer shrinks the length about 2 inches.

    Great Tank Top
    Color: White, Size: Large
    I love this top. It fits snug and is comfortable. The length is perfect. I especially like the wide shoulder straps which hides my bra straps. I’ll order more of these in different colors.
