N° 219 Milton / Done on Standard Vanguard, 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

Driver Milton negotiates the breaking and starting test of the 1951 Rallye Monte Carlo in his Standard Vanguard. On a wet course, the saloon car, numbered 219, is captured mid-maneuver, tilted so its front left wheel lifts completely off the ground as it navigates between striped cones. The test required competitors to accelerate for 200 metres from a standing start, then brake in the shortest possible distance. In the background, spectators gather behind sponsor banners, while a historic fortress overlooks the scene.
