N° 220 Bartlett / Davies on MG Y-type, undergoing the breaking and starting test. Cars will have to accelerate as fast as possible for 200 metres from a standing start, and then pull up in the shortest possible distance, for the cars have to keep a line between the axles.

During the 1951 Rallye Monte-Carlo, Bartlett and Davies pilot their MG Y-type through the braking and starting test. Bearing the number 220, the dark saloon accelerates from a standing start on a wet, cone-marked course before braking sharply. Spectators watch from beneath a large gantry as the car, license plate MNW 571, completes the maneuver. The damp tarmac and overcast sky reflect the challenging conditions of the event, set against a backdrop of national flags and the city skyline.
