Jaguar C-Type No 82 of Tommy Wisdom. Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix).

A high-angle view reveals the inner workings of Tommy Wisdom's Jaguar C-Type No. 82 at the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, an event transformed that year into a race for sports cars. A mechanic holding a lug wrench stands beside the open engine bay, where the powerful straight-six engine gleams in the sun, its polished dual overhead camshaft covers the central focus. The propped-open hood casts sharp, striped shadows from its ventilation louvers, while a leather securing strap and a portion of the white racing roundel are visible on the fender.
