I watched an entertaining show last night featuring Sir Stirling Moss and the restoration a 1962 Austin-Healey Sprite that he raced. I had the MG version of that, a 1962 MG Midget. That was a great little car. When I was younger, I followed racing in Road & Track and Car and Driver magazines. Stirling Moss was a great driver, winning eighty-four races. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2020 at the age of 90.
The team worked on putting the car back into original condition, and then Stirling came to an event at a car museum and drove it. The show (Car S.O.S.) was on the Nat Geo section of Disney+. I'm watching everything I want before canceling it.

I Actually ran into him at a Barrett Jackson auction in Phoenix a number of years ago. I was going into the auction room from outside and pulled the door open. This man comes rushing through the door and into me. We were both very apologetic. He rushed off saying he was in a hurry. I stood there saying to myself I should know who that was but shrugged it off. A short while later a car comes up for auction. It was a car Stirling Moss drove and he was in the cockpit when it came on stage. That's when I figured out who it was I ran into.
