N° 220 Bartlett / Davies on MG Y-type, undergoing the breaking and starting test. Cars will have to accelerate as fast as possible for 200 metres from a standing start, and then pull up in the shortest possible distance, for the cars have to keep a line between the axles.

The MG Y-type of Bartlett and Davies navigates a wet course during the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo. Car number 220 is performing the breaking and starting test, which required competitors to accelerate for 200 metres from a standstill and then brake in the shortest possible distance. Passing under a lattice archway and between striped cones, the race-prepared saloon is observed by a few spectators, with the city of Monte Carlo rising in the background.
