During the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo, the MG YA Saloon of Moore and Meisl undergoes a braking and starting test. The dark-colored saloon, bearing race number 97 and license plate UMG 350, is positioned on a wet, paved surface marked with white lines and small cones. This precision test required competitors to accelerate from a standing start over 200 metres before braking in the shortest possible distance. In the background, a crowd of spectators stands behind a barrier adorned with advertising banners for brands such as LUCAS and AC.
