At the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo, the Dutch team of Waltmann and Galjaard navigate their Jowett, number 189, through a wet, cone-lined course. They are performing the braking and starting test, a challenge requiring drivers to accelerate for 200 metres from a standstill before stopping in the shortest possible distance. The dark sedan, bearing the license plate "GZ-13966," is observed by officials and spectators huddled behind barriers advertising "LUCAS" and "AC" as it maneuvers on the rain-slicked pavement.
