Motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss got back behind the wheel during a visit to Hampshire today.
The 85-year-old climbed into a BRM V16 after opening a motor racing gallery at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.
The car finished fifth in the 1951 British Grand Prix with Reg Parnell at the wheel.
Other exhibits include a Cooper 500, the first type of car Sir Stirling raced during a long and distinguished career that began in the late 1940s.
Sir Stirling was interviewed at the museum today by motor racing commentator Murray Walker, who lives near Fordingbridge.
Murray told him: “I think of you as the first really professional racing driver.
“Your career ended with a terrible crash in 1962, but you are still Mr Motor Racing as far as the British public and most of the rest of the world is concerned.”
