Stirling Moss restarts his Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 (#78) after an accident at the Sainte-Dévote corner during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which was run for sports cars. A gendarme watches from atop the sandbag barriers as Moss navigates the turn under a large "VEEDOL" banner, with Anthony Hume visible on the left. For receiving outside help to get moving again, Moss was ultimately shown the black flag and disqualified. The street circuit is lined with spectators, with more watching from the balconies and rooftops of the city buildings.
