Moss, (78) Jaguar C, Manzon, (56) Simca Gordini T155. Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix).

Stirling Moss, in his number 78 Jaguar C-Type, leads Robert Manzon’s number 56 Simca-Gordini T155 during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix. That year, the event was exceptionally transformed into a race for sports cars. The open-top racers pass beneath a large "VEEDOL" advertising gantry, navigating a street circuit lined with sandbags. Spectators watch from behind a simple barrier under a canopy of pine trees, with the city's shuttered apartment buildings forming the backdrop.
