Monaco BEFORE 1973.
One obvious guess would be the Lotus 49 which won both in 1969 and 1970.
One dream would be the BRM which won 1972.

Re: MFH February 2020 1/12 news
Could that orange line be the railway?
If yes it is even earlier. It disappeared somewhere in the mid 60's I think...
Edit:
The Start/Finish line is at the current position, which means it is post 1962.
For me it seems to be a 1.5 litre BRM is about to be released.

I would be surprised if it is not the Lotus 49.

Re: MFH February 2020 1/12 news
I have found this map on wikipedia. It shows the railway line which came past the old station.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_tran ... Monaco.svg
The station was demolished between the races in 1965 and 1966. Aerial shots in the movie Grand Prix doesn't show any signs of a railway anymore.
And as I mentioned earlier the race was originally started on the waterfront until an accident occurred at the start in 1962 as a result of all cars going into the hairpin. From 1963 until this day the race is started on the former back straight.
So, we are at least limited to the years from 1963 to 1965.

Either way a BRM would be interesting. A P160 would be amazing.

BRM won 4 times during the 60'es. So a BRM (Hill or Stewart) would be an obvious guess.

And here I was hoping it would be the 1967 Brabham. Guess that one's out. Oh well. Still waiting for the rest of the 1967 for GPL reasons...
