Tony Crook, (28) Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Mk II. Behind him David Clarke, (30) Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Mk II. 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).

Tony Crook, driving a Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica Mk II (no. 28), navigates a sweeping corner in Monaco, followed by David Clarke in a similar car. The year is 1952, and the traditional Grand Prix has been transformed into a sports car race, the Prix de Monte Carlo. Spectators watch from a small park and the ornate balconies of Belle Époque hotels as the open-top racers speed along the palm-lined street circuit, flanked by the city’s grand casino and luxury buildings.
