Despite his recent retirement from Historic Motorsport, 81 year old Sir Stirling shows no signs of slowing down, with a new role as Patron of Chelsea AutoLegends. “I went to the first AutoLegends show last year and loved it. There were so many fabulous cars and familiar faces there, that I was delighted when they asked me to be Patron this year.” Said the 16-time Grand Prix winner.

Among the many cars on display will be the Ferrari 250GT SWB that Moss drove to victory in the 1961 Tourist Trophy at Goodwood. It was entered in the race by another motor racing legend, the late Rob Walker.

“Rob Walker was a true enthusiast but also a damn good team manager. And in his passport where it said ‘Profession’ he had written ‘Gentleman’. That gives you an idea of the sort of chap he was.” Said Sir Stirling.

Other displays at the show will include Le Mans cars from over the years, Group B rally cars and classic bikes. There will be cavalcades of supercars and motorcycles arriving at the show during the day, plus special tributes to the Jaguar E-type and Mini Cooper – both 50-years-old this year.
