N° 118 Faulkner / Silverthorne on Aston Martin DB2-4, N° 90 Appleyard / Appleyard on Jaguar Mk VII, N° 112 Vard / Jolley on Jaguar MK VII. and 3 Porsche 356 taking part in the regularity speed test on the circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix. Rallye Monte Carlo 1955.

During the 1955 Monte Carlo Rally, competitors prepare for the regularity speed test on the circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix. The Aston Martin DB2-4 of Faulkner and Silverthorne (N° 118) is positioned in the foreground behind a barrier of sandbags. Other cars, including the Jaguar Mk VIIs of Appleyard/Appleyard and Vard/Jolley, await their turn. The scene is set against the dramatic backdrop of the harbor and the city’s dense architecture climbing the steep hillside, framed by palm and pine trees under an overcast sky.
