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.

Disappointed by the slow performance of his Scarab cars at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, team owner Lance Reventlow (left, in the orange jumpsuit) enlisted Stirling Moss to test one. Here, Moss, wearing a white helmet and light racing suit, converses with Reventlow beside the dark blue, open-cockpit single-seater. Though Moss improved on the lap time, it was still not fast enough to qualify for the race. Officials consult a clipboard nearby, while the distinctive ‘Scrappy’ turtle logo is visible on the car’s bodywork.
