N° 117 Merrill / Matthews on Jaguar Mk VII, N° 198 Ingier / Schjolberg on Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk III taking part in the regularity speed test on the circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix. Rallye Monte Carlo 1955.

On the wet circuit of the Monaco Grand Prix, competitors tackle a regularity speed test during the 1955 Rallye Monte Carlo. The Jaguar Mk VII (N° 117) of Merrill and Matthews leans heavily into a harborside corner, while beside it, Ingier and Schjolberg’s Sunbeam Talbot 90 Mk III (N° 198) corners so aggressively that its inner front wheel lifts clear off the ground. The track, lined with sandbags and banners, curves around the Port of Monaco, with the city's grand architecture rising in the background.
