N° 141 Eddge / Tyler on Standard Vanguard, 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.

Rallye Monte Carlo 1951

During the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo, the Standard Vanguard driven by Eddge and Tyler is a motion blur as it performs the breaking and starting test. On a wet, paved course, the car (YDU 718) accelerates from a standing start before braking sharply. Spectators gather under an overcast sky to watch the vehicle pass beneath a large lattice-work archway, with a fortress visible on a distant hillside.
