Herbert Müller

One of the great all-rounders, a two-time Targa Florio winner, two-time European hill climb champion, and 13-time Le Mans participant with two overall second places – the Swiss racing driver Herbert Müller, who referred to himself as a professional amateur, drove nearly everything fast and good during his over 20-year motorsport career – from motorcycles to Formula 3 single-seaters and even a stint in the premier class of Formula 1, but above all, sports cars. McKlein, a specialist publisher of fine motorsport books, now presents Müller’s racing and life story, showcasing the full range of his skills and the diverse collection of vehicles from his career, which tragically ended at the Nürburgring in 1981. On the occasion of this somber anniversary 40 years ago, authors Jörg-Thomas Födisch and Rainer Rossbach reflect on his unparalleled career.
