N° 69 Louis Chiron / Basadonna Lancia Aurelia GT ( 2500 cm3 ), winner of Rallye Monte Carlo 1954.

At a checkpoint during the 1954 Rallye Monte-Carlo, Louis Chiron sits at the wheel of the Lancia Aurelia GT he shared with co-driver Basadonna. An official in a dark suit extends what appears to be a timecard towards their car, number 69, which would ultimately carry them to victory. In the background, other vintage cars are lined up below a city built into a steep hillside, its winding roads visible in the distance.
