On the wet circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix, two cars compete in a regularity speed test during the 1955 Monte Carlo Rally. In the foreground, the Jaguar Mk VII (N° 117) driven by Merrill and Matthews leans into a corner, pursued by the Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk III (N° 198) of Ingier and Schjolberg, which lifts its inside rear wheel. Lined with sandbags and advertising banners, the course overlooks the harbor filled with yachts, capturing the challenging conditions and dramatic atmosphere of the classic event.
