Stirling Moss, (78) Jaguar C-Type. Pierre Levegh, (68) Talbot-Lago T26GS. 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 (No. 78), navigates a sharp, sun-drenched bend during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix. Held exceptionally for sports cars that year, the race sees Pierre Levegh in his Talbot-Lago T26GS (No. 68) further up the circuit. Dark tire marks trace the path of the cars on the asphalt, while an official crouches precariously on the ornate stone balustrade lining the track. In the background, spectators observe the action from behind a fence.
