Maria Teresa de Filippis, (4) Porsche Special FII with Italian body ("Behra-Porsche"). Monaco Grand Prix 1959.

Maria Teresa de Filippis pilots her light-colored Porsche Special FII, also known as the 'Behra-Porsche', through a tight left-hand curve at the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix. Wearing a dark helmet and goggles in the open cockpit, she navigates the street circuit lined with sandbag barriers and 'TOTAL' advertising banners. The car's unadorned Italian bodywork is captured in motion as spectators observe from various informal vantage points.
