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).
At the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, Stirling Moss and a mechanic intently examine the engine of Tommy Wisdom's Jaguar C-Type (82). Moss, dressed in a white racing jumpsuit, leans over the open hood with a focused expression, while the mechanic, in a polo shirt, holds a dipstick. That year, the prestigious event was transformed into a race for sports cars. This moment of preparation is captured under bright sunlight, with the empty tiers of a grandstand visible in the background.
