The No. 224 Riley, driven by Kevill-Davies and Pelling, awaits the braking and starting test at the 1951 Rallye Monte-Carlo. On the wet, glistening pavement, the right-hand drive saloon with UK license plate "LGY 440" must accelerate from a standing start for 200 metres, then brake in the shortest possible distance. A crowd of spectators in hats and overcoats observes from behind a wooden fence, with advertising banners for brands like "BOUGIE AC" and "Mobiloil" visible in the background.
