N° 117 Merrill / Matthews on Jaguar Mk VII, N° 198 Ingier / Schjolberg on Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk III taking part in the regularity speed test on the circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix. Rallye Monte Carlo 1955.

During a regularity speed test for the 1955 Monte Carlo Rally, the Jaguar Mk VII (No. 117) of Merrill and Matthews leans into a wet corner on the Monaco circuit. Following closely, the Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk III (No. 198) driven by Ingier and Schjolberg corners so aggressively its inside front wheel lifts clear off the tarmac. In the background, yachts are moored in the harbor below the dense hillside architecture of the principality.
