Moss, (78) Jaguar C, Manzon, (56) Simca Gordini T155. Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix).

The 1952 Monaco Grand Prix, uniquely transformed into a two-day race for sports cars, saw competitors like Stirling Moss in his Jaguar C-Type and Robert Manzon in a Simca-Gordini T15S on the circuit. Spectators watch from behind hay bale barriers and from the balconies of trackside buildings as the open-top racers speed beneath a large “VEEDOL” banner. The race proceeds along the city streets, lined with lush pine trees and multi-story European-style buildings.
