white Jag is behind the subject car, but look to the right of that to the seagull taking flight... errr... 300 SL Gullwing door in open position.
Also, looks like there's another 300 Coupe although not by M-B. 2nd car behind the Ferrari appear to have characteristics of a 1957 Chrysler 300C.
I have a note of a photo appearing in the Ferrari Annual for 1955. The photo shows three cars. #54 Ferrari 750 Monza of Luigi Piotti (the winner). Chassis "should be" 0514M. #42 Ferrari 750 Monza of Luigi Bordonaro (2nd). Chassis "should be" 0530M. #30 OSCA MT4 appears to be chassis 1151, a car owned at the time by Giulio Cabianca. I've not done any specific research to verify any of the above chassis numbers. I have no obvious notes of having seen any other photos but it may be possible to find some.

Fantastic color photos! Grand Prix Tunisi, 1955. In the top photo, you can make out the two red Ferrari 750 Monzas: Luigi Piotti in 0514M (#54) and Luigi Bordonaro in 0530M (#42). Here are some black and white images from the same event: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
And the blue car flashing by in the second photo appears to be Roger Porre in Osca MT4 1500 s/n 1161 (#34).
Behind, it's a Ferrari 500 Mondial Berlinetta ! Who drove this car, the algerian driver Borgeaud ? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Contrary to the "appears to be" note I posted above, #30 OSCA is the 2000cc (6-cylinder), chassis number 2002. The Milano plate in the grille opening confirms the identity.
"4429 WO": Porsche 550 driven by Auguste Veuillet. #32: Maserati A6 GCS Spyder driven by Jean Thépenier. #48: 500 Mondial ??? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks for Pucci. #48, it's a Estager's Ferrari (0526M). I found the Storez's Porsche but i lost the photos of Estager :-( Image Unavailable, Please Login
#48 should be Jean Estager's 750 Monza s/n 0526M I think the only unknown, and so far the only one without a photo is Borgeaud's Ferrari on race #38. Best -Jarrett
Here is the 750 Monza of Jean Estager No. 48 (0526M) to the GP in Tunis in 1955. This is Serge Maumont, the chief engineer of Jean Estager which driver 0526M for the start of Race. Some documents for proofs... Serge Maumont was also at the service of Louis Rosier in 1955-1956. (Please forgive me for the quality of some pictures).
