The Lake Mirror Classic Auto Festival

This yearโ€™s Eighth Annual Lake Mirror Classic, to be held October 19โ€“20 in downtown Lakeland, Florida, will honor the racecars and career of Sir Stirling Moss.

Primary-sponsor Mercedes-Benz and event organizers expect to welcome more than 500 carsโ€”including Concours dโ€™Elegance beauties, classic American musclecars, and vintage sports and racecars, plus classic wooden boats and antique motorcycles. Sir Stirling Moss, motor racingโ€™s senior statesman, will be present and will serve as the 2007 Honorary Chairman.

Event founder and chairman Ford Heacock is gathering a select group of racecars to honor and represent Mossโ€™s amazing racing career. Included in this group will be The Collier Collectionโ€™s 1957 Cooper Climax, type 43, the car Moss drove to victory in the 1958 Argentine Grand Prix, ushering in the beginning of the rear-engine era in Grand Prix racing.
