No.78 Stirling Moss at the back of his car Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 (in front). The Aston engine of Parnell blows up in the Ste-Devote and aligns his car against the straw bales, Stagnoli brakes too hard and does a double spin. Moss on Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 and Manzon find an obstructed road, spin and end up against the poor Aston, then Hume spins and reverses into the pile. Lucky no one gets hurt. Monaco Grand Prix 1952. (transformed into a race for sports cars with engines larger than 2 liters)

Mechanics attend to Stirling Moss's Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 (No. 78) during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix. The car is stationary with its hood open after a multi-car pile-up at the Ste-Dévote corner. On a sunlit track lined with sandbags, a diverse group of onlookers, including a priest and a police officer, watch from behind a fence. Spectators fill the balconies of the grand buildings lining the circuit, below a banner for "Le film de protection."
