The much awaited Scarab cars appear for the first time in Europe. Lance Reventlow, the driver-owner-constructor, prepares for trial laps. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

Lance Reventlow, the driver-owner-constructor, prepares for trial laps in his number 48 Scarab at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, an event marking the much-awaited European debut of the American cars. The young, blonde-haired driver sits in the cockpit of the open-wheel vehicle, its classic cigar-shaped body featuring a two-tone livery with a wide, light-colored central stripe. In the background, spectators fill a grandstand behind a trackside barrier adorned with a prominent “CAMPARI” banner.
