The WhiteWebbs Museum of Transport is a gem in Crews Hill, north of London.
It is a pleasure to be able to support their Stirling Moss feature with the loan of these cars.⁠

The museum is open on Tuesdays and the last Sunday of the month – and it is very well worth every moment of a visit!⁠

about to start the 1958 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps⁠ in her Maserati 250F.⁠ 

Maria was the first female driver to compete in a Formula One Grand Prix.  She also competed in the Portuguese Grand Prix later that year.
