N° 320 Leiner / Nodel on Mercedes 220. Rallye Monte Carlo 1953. To prevent the competitors from taking the timekeepers by surprise and passing without being spotted the organisers decided to paint the front wings of the cars white with washable paint. This enabled the officials to identify hem a long way off even if their rally plates were not easily risible because of dirt or their position on the car. (Louche p. 118)
