Who is Max Mosley’s wife Jean?

MAX Mosley, the ex-Formula One boss, has died aged 81, says former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone.

Mosley was also a barrister and amateur racing driver but he struggled to shake off his father's reputation and links to fascism.

Who is Max Mosley's wife Jean?

Jean Mosley (nee Taylor) is a cop's daughter from Streatham.

Her dad, James Taylor, was a City of London police officer.

She and Max met at a London party two years before marrying. Max was reading physics at Christ Church, Oxford, at the time.

Max, who was born in London on April 13, 1940, was the son of 1930s British fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley.

When Jean was aged 18, she was "serious and intelligent and captivated Sir Oswald's young male followers", writes the Evening Standard.

The paper describes her as being "strikingly beautiful".

Interestingly, it was Jean who introduced Max to motorsport.

He had no idea what to do career-wise upon finishing university.

One day, though, Jean got two tickets for a Silverstone motor racing event - and Max was hooked. He was involved in Formula 2 for Brabham and Lotus before retiring in 1969.

In 2008 he won a privacy case against the News of the World newspaper after it printed photos and published video of his involvement in a sadomasochistic sex session.

A article written about Max's autobiography, Formula One and Beyond in 2015 said they were "still together" despite the case.
