Let me dream: Monaco 1972 BRM (last victory)
Lotus 49C Rindt Monaco 1970 was another obvious.

It is interesting to see the Port Fontveille rather than the usual view of the main Monaco harbour where the circuit is located.

The fact that there is only one variant is intriguing. If it is a race car, rather than a rally car, what model would be so closely linked to Monaco alone?

My wild guess? Stirling Moss's 1960 Lotus 18.

The BRM would be great. The Monaco picture looks like a more modern picture much later than 1972 if it is taken on the year of the car they are doing. Otherwise that is the dumbest clue I have seen yet. So November will be a race car :)

Maybe the driver of the car lives in one of the apartments you can see in the picture.

I was thinking perhaps the year of the photo hints to the year of the car except a quick google search turns up a dozen of the same photo

A quick Reverse Image Search (with TinEye), shows that the photo was taken by "Anthony DELANOIX", and is in his account of "Adobe Stock" alongside with a bunch of modern photos.

So my guess is a modern F1 car. Maybe a BlueCow 2018 winner?

Isn't it pretty obvious its going to be a boat? So in my view its going to be a Hispania F110 ;)

Leclerc is Monegasque - but no more Ferraris we are told.

It says it's a full-detail kit so I'd be hesistant to believe that it's a modern era kit. What's the latest year full detail 1/12 kit MFH has done? 1994 Williams FW16? Not saying it won't happen, but highly unlikely.
