With a serious expression, racing driver Stirling Moss sits astride his 1961 Trojan Trobike in the paddock of the Monaco Grand Prix. Dressed in a light coat over his racing suit, he is surrounded by onlookers and crew. The small, white-framed mini-bike, bearing the license plate "BRP 999", is positioned in a channel in the pavement. In the background, a barrier with the word "PRIX" and the body of a racing car confirm the setting of the 1961 event.
