Moss buys million dollar Porsche

Posted on 25/03/2010 Despite being in recovery after his lift accident, Sir Stirling Moss has laid out US$ 1.705 million on a Porsche RS 61 Spyder. It’s a car Moss has long sought after and is very similar to the one he nearly won the 1961 Targa Florio in with Graham Hill. He and his wife Susie said: “This makes a wonderful 30th wedding anniversary present. It’s something to look forward too [when he recovers from his injuries].” The RS 61 is a light-weight, mid-engined sports car that produces approximately 180 BHP from a four cylinder 1.6 litre engine. Moss’s is one of the only ones remaining with original bodywork wrapped around its space-frame chassis.
