The much awaited Scarab cars appear for the first time in Europe. Lance Reventlow, the driver-owner-constructor, prepares for trial laps. Monaco Grand Prix 1960.

At the 1960 Monaco Grand Prix, driver-owner-constructor Lance Reventlow sits in the cockpit of his number 48 Scarab, preparing for trial laps during the car's much-awaited European debut. On the starting grid, under a prominent "CINZANO" banner, officials—including a "COMMISSAIRE" with a crossed-arm stance—mechanics, and spectators mingle around the open-wheel race cars. Lined up behind Reventlow are other competitors, their machines ready on the famed street circuit.
