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

At the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix, Maria Teresa de Filippis pilots her unpainted Porsche Special FII, number 4. Known as the "Behra-Porsche," the streamlined, Italian-bodied car navigates the street circuit alongside the harbor, which is filled with moored yachts. In the background, the city rises up the steep hillside, marked by a prominent "BP ENERGOL" sign.
