Sir Stirling Moss swept to victory at the Spa round of the Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Trophy for pre-1956 sports-racing cars in recent days.

The driving legend, argued by many to be the greatest driver never to win the World Championship, took first place in the under-1,500cc drum braked class of the event, in his own just-restored Osca FS372.

Sir Stirling bought the vehicle two years ago and drove the car unpainted as he and Rick Hall could not agree on a colour, in news that may interest car insurance customers.

"He wants it painted green and we think it should be red," laughed Mr Hall.

As well as driving to victory, Sir Stirling was also awarded the Spirit of the Woodcote Trophy by Gregor Fisken, from the automobile dealership Fiskens, in recognition of his perseverance in completing the two-year restoration of the Osca.

Marc Devis's Maserati 250SI took overall victory in the Woodcote Trophy race - which celebrates the immediate post-war era of motor racing.
