In part because he fought that charge about changing lanes in the Mersey tunnel... but it was an era when the poms were looking for heroes, too.
He was, as he and Purdy point out in
All But My Life, "the knight going out to defeat the infidel, the one who would give all, perhaps come back with the trophy, perhaps with broken limbs and bleeding nose."
Mossy had his flaws and failings, but he was human and admitted it. He drove anything he drove to its ultimate, and don't forget he was a works rally driver too... won, I think, three
Coupes des Alpes in a row.
