Who do you think you are? Stirling Moss
Are there any pics out there of Stirling Moss with his Rocco?

Quote "This must be a winning formula and in fact it has attracted no less a buyer than Stirling Moss, who is now somewhat surprised to find himself as a VW owner!" Safer Motoring May 1975 ![scratch :scratch:](./images/smilies/scratch_one-s_head.gif)

Re: Who do you think you are? Stirling Moss
Its not the first time ive seen this written, I think he may have been given the Scirocco by VW and I think the the car may have been a silver TS not 100% sure as the pic was probably black and white
, Ive now spent hours trawing the net but nothing so far. Help required
This would be a great boost to the profile of the Mk1. Did Moss have any connections with VW during 1974-75?

I dont know the dates, but I believe he drove a works Audi in the saloon car championships at around that sort of time - I believe it was actually a bit of a disaster! It could have been something to do with that tie-in perhaps?

Re: Who do you think you are? Stirling Moss
I think you maybe right with some kind of touring car connection, ill look into it. Tony Dron was racing touring ( dolomite sprint ) cars in back in '77 I may contact him and see if he can shed any light on the situation. I met him when he wrote an article for Classic Cars on my '73 Passat coupe.
