N° 266 Cotton / Lemerle on Salmson 2300 S Spéciale taking part in the regularity speed test on the circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix. Rallye Monte Carlo 1955.

On the rain-soaked Monaco Grand Prix circuit, Cotton and Lemerle take their Salmson 2300 S Spéciale (N° 266) through a turn during a regularity speed test for the 1955 Rallye Monte Carlo. The light-colored coupe splashes through standing water as spectators huddle on a nearby stone staircase. In the background, a long wall is lined with prominent advertising banners for brands including Dunlop, Avon Tyres, and Lucas, marking the professional motorsport event.
