The accident at Sainte-Dévote: Stirling Moss, (78) restarts his Jaguar C-Type XKC 003 but got a black flag for receiving outside help. Monaco Grand Prix 1952, transformed into a race for sports cars. This was a two day event, the Sunday, Prix Monte Carlo, for the up to 2 litres (Prix de Monte Carlo), the Grand Prix, Monday for the bigger engines, (Monaco Grand Prix). 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, 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. Fortunately nobody gets hurt. - Photo by Edward Quinn
