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 Rallye Monte Carlo, the Jaguar Mk VII of Merrill and Matthews navigates a wet turn on the Monaco Grand Prix circuit. The car, bearing race number 117 and license plate "NNC 273", leans into the corner, which is lined with sandbags and straw bales. A small group of spectators watches from the sidelines, with the bustling harbor and densely built-up hillside of Monaco providing a dramatic backdrop.
