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).

At the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, a lineup of sports cars queues on a sun-drenched, tree-lined road. In the foreground, Luigi Stagnoli sits in the cockpit of his Ferrari 225S (no. 90), wearing a white helmet and goggles. To his left is the dark Jaguar C-Type driven by Stirling Moss. Further back, a field including competitors like Robert Manzon and Peter Collins awaits the start, as spectators line the hillside. That year, the prestigious event was exceptionally transformed into a race for sports cars rather than Formula One vehicles.
