History
In 1962, the 250 GTO (75722 MO aka HSJ 771) was set to race
the UDT/Laystall car in the Goodwood Easter Monday Trophy Race with Stirling
Moss driving. Having practiced in the car on the Saturday, Moss never drove the
Ferrari on the Easter Monday due to his near fatal accident in a Lotus 19 that
weekend. Interestingly, the cars second race in England was at Silverstone on
May 12th, driven by Masten Gregory (race No.30) to 2nd place in the
International Scalextric Trophy race! After its appearance at Goodwood in
1998, it made a second outing in 1999, as part of Moss's 70th birthday
celebrations. The car, in its light green livery and tribute No.7 racing
roundel, was driven by Sir Stirling Moss and Tony Dron to an appreciative
audience. In 2000 the car was sold for an incredible eight million US dollars. |
