Stirling Moss befor he tried one of the Scarabs. They were disappointingly slow and to find out if it was the driver or the car, owner Reventlow let Stirling Moss try one. He did a better time but it would not have been enough to qualify. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

Stirling Moss is captured in a moment of intense focus before test-driving a Scarab at the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix. Wearing a dirt-speckled white helmet, his contemplative expression is sharply defined against a blurred background of onlookers. Team owner Lance Reventlow had asked Moss to pilot the disappointingly slow car to see if he could improve its time. Moss was indeed faster, but still not quick enough to qualify for the race.
