Stirling Moss and a mechanic. Jaguar C-Type (82) of Tommy Wisdom. 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, dressed in a white racing jumpsuit, listens intently as a mechanic gestures towards the exposed inline-six engine of Tommy Wisdom's Jaguar C-Type (82). The scene unfolds at the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, which that year was transformed into a race for sports cars. Holding a dipstick and a cigarette, Moss focuses on the discussion beside the open engine bay, where a spare tire is visibly strapped down. In the background, spectators watch from a large, sunlit grandstand.
