No.78 Stirling Moss at the back of his car Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 (in front). The Aston engine of Parnell blows up in the Ste-Devote and aligns his car against the straw bales, Stagnoli brakes too hard and does a double spin. Moss on Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 and Manzon find an obstructed road, spin and end up against the poor Aston, then Hume spins and reverses into the pile. Lucky no one gets hurt. Monaco Grand Prix 1952. (transformed into a race for sports cars with engines larger than 2 liters)

At the Sainte-Dévote corner during the 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, Stirling Moss's Jaguar C-Type, No. 78, is stopped with its bonnet open following a multi-car pile-up. The incident began when Reg Parnell’s Aston Martin engine failed, leading to a chain reaction of spins and collisions that blocked the track. A group of men clusters around Moss's car, while officials, a priest, and other spectators watch from behind sandbags. The balconies of the grand buildings overlooking the circuit are crowded with onlookers witnessing the aftermath.
