Maria Teresa de Filippis, (4) Porsche Special FII with Italian body ("Behra-Porsche"). Monaco Grand Prix 1959.

At the 1959 Monaco Grand Prix, Maria Teresa de Filippis pilots her Porsche Special FII, also known as the "Behra-Porsche," along the harbor road. The light-colored, open-wheel racer features distinctive eye-like markings on its nose cone and what appears to be patchwork bodywork. As she passes a spectator behind a metal railing, the background reveals the famous harbor filled with moored yachts and the densely built-up hillside of Monaco, where a prominent "BP ENERGOL" sign is visible.
