During the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo, a man in a double-breasted coat and glasses inspects the engine of the Bentley Mark VI driven by W.M. Couper and W.H. Eastwood. The dark Standard Steel Sports Saloon, with its bonnet propped open, displays rally number 209 and license plate MMB 396 on its front. The vehicle, captured here on a gravel lot amidst spectators and palm trees, would go on to win the prestigious Grand Prix d'Honneur.
