Hermano da Silva Ramos and Jean Estager took their Jaguar Mark I 3.4 to a first-in-class victory at the 1959 Tour de France de l'Automobile. Seen here in Nice, the light-colored sedan bears race number "61" and is fitted with extra driving lights for the endurance event. A driver is visible behind the windshield as spectators look on. The sun-drenched coastal setting, complete with a Dunlop truck and a Shell gas station sign, captures the atmosphere of a classic European road race.
