Bill Moss (born 4 September 1933 in Luton, Bedfordshire – died 13 January 2010) was a British racing driver from England.
Moss entered one World Championship Formula One race, the 1959 British Grand Prix, with his United Racing Stable Cooper T51, a Formula 2 car, and failed to qualify. Moss was British Formula Junior Champion in 1961.
He is not related to Stirling Moss, winner of 16 Grands Prix. Info from Wiki
The racing careers of the leading Grand Prix drivers have been repeated so many times that they are well known to most followers of the Sport. We feel that there are just as many interesting stories to be told about the men who race almost every weekend at Club and National meetings up and down the country. We hope that those people who watch the racing from the Grandstand and never visit the Paddock will derive some amusement and knowledge from this series, which will be continued next month. M. L. T.
Bill Moss: This young man first hit the headlines with his fearless handling of the R5B E.R.A. ” Remus,” which he drove up to the end of the 1958 season, but before that he had driven a 1929 1500 Alfa-Romeo and the R1A E.R.A. with a fair degree of success. After watching the way, he handled ” Remus,” many people began asking when he would get a more modern car. Moss answered this himself by purchasing a DB3S, which was not very successful and did not last long. He followed this up with a Lister-Jaguar and also drove a Formula 2 Cooper for a private team. He had accidents in both these cars and was never as happy with the modern cars as ‘j| with the E.R.A.
Bill Moss’ plans for 1960 are uncertain as yet. He may return to vintage racing or carry on with Formula 2. By profession he is ” one of the forty thieves,” is not married, and on the road, he drives ” anything.”
