N° 210 Croft-Pearson / Tivet on Lea-Francis Shooting Brake, undergoing the breaking and starting test. Cars will have to accelerate as fast as possible for 200 metres from a standing start, and then pull up in the shortest possible distance, for the cars have to keep a line between the axles. Rallye Monte Carlo 1951

During the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally, Croft-Pearson and Tivet pilot their Lea-Francis Shooting Brake through the braking and starting test. On a wet, paved course marked by striped cones, the wood-panelled station wagon accelerates from a standing start, tasked with braking in the shortest possible distance. The car passes under a large, decorative arch as a crowd of spectators watches from behind barriers. In the distance, a fortress is visible against the overcast sky.
