The Scarabs were disappointingly slow and to find out if it was the driver or the car, Reventlow (left) let Stirling Moss try one. He did a better time but it would not have been enough to qualify. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

In the paddock at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, driver Stirling Moss, wearing his white racing suit and helmet, confers with Lance Reventlow. Disappointed by the slow performance of his Scarab cars, Reventlow (left, in dark overalls) invited Moss to test one to determine if the fault lay with the car or the driver. Though Moss achieved a better time, it was still not enough for the car to qualify for the race.
