Stirling Moss, (78) Jaguar C-Type. 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 Jaguar C-Type number 46, negotiates a turn during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, an event transformed that year into a race for sports cars. The city circuit is lined with hay bales and a stone balustrade, while crowds watch from behind barriers and the balconies of hillside buildings, including the Renaissance Hotel. In the foreground, the photographer’s sharp shadow falls across the asphalt as another car approaches the corner.
