At Le Mans 2001, Moss was in a Jag C type for the historical support race in the morning. The Radio Le Mans crew told the concerned British fans that the reason for his limp was not old age, he had fallen out of a taxi on a night out earlier in the week!
After running across for the traditional Le Mans start he proceeded to do his best to run down the idiot tv crew in the middle of the track before going on to drift his C type around for the next hour, whilst acknowledging the crowd. And of course he won his class.
An absolute legend and national treasure!
(And I haven't even mentioned his victory in the Mille Miglia in 1955, at an average speed of just under 100 mph over 10 hours on public roads...)
