That,s the cat out of the bag then !
1957 - Peter Collins, Ferrari 335 M.
In the background, No 1 Moss (/Schell) Maserati 450S Zagato Coupe and No 2 Behra (/Simon) Maserati 450S Spyder.
All three cars retired:
Collins' engine let go after only 2 laps and the car was the second official retirement.
The Moss/Schell car was in Stirling's words "diabolical" - it was difficult to start (see photo), filled with heat and fumes and retired with u/j fairure after 32 laps (5hrs).
The Behra/ Simon was out by that time (accident/ split fuel tank after 28 laps and 3 hours).
So quite why the ACO put the photo of three failures on the cover of the 1958 programme is a mystery!! Or maybe not - Jaguar D Types came 1-2-3-4 and 6th in 1957!!!

>:( it's not the picture of the cover of the program, it's the picture selected to illustrate the 2-pages article inside the program written by Rodney Walkerley who was journalist at The Motor.
In 58 they mentioned the fact that "we welcome an ever increasing colony of English-speaking enthusiasts"
