"To me the Mille Miglia was certainly the finest road race of them all. In 1955 when I won in the Mercedes with "Jenks" we were travelling at up to 180 mph on open roads, We had a fabulous drive and it was nice to make a bit of Mille Miglia history together. My time of 10 hours 7 minutes 48 seconds at an average speed of 98.53 mph for the 1,000 miles was never beaten" - Stirling Moss

The first running of the Mille Miglia took place in 1927 in torrential rain. The history of the Mille Miglia breaks down distinctly into the Pre and Post-war segments. In the post war decade from 1947 to 1957 this tough event was rapidly re-established as a world leading motor sporting competition. Major sports car manufacturers would enter works cars employing some of the top drivers to win the race for them. Enzo Ferrari has stated that "The Mille Miglia created our cars and the Italian Automobile industry".

Twenty years after the race itself was abandoned on grounds of safety, the Mille Miglia was revived in 1977 as a regularity rally and it has now become a pinnacle of its type for serious collectors to participate in. Only the very best cars in the world of the types (or actual cars) that took part in period are selected from a heavily oversubscribed list.

Travel to Italy for this wonderful event, spend two nights relaxing by charming Lake Iseo before witnessing the colourful start of the Mille Miglia. We will see the cars parked at close quarters following their scrutineering in Brescia, as well as seeing the field passing at speed at other viewing points along the route. After leaving the Italian lakes we head to the glorious Emilia Romagna region for two nights to enjoy the gastronomy and history of that region together with excellent motoring-related visits around the fine city of Modena, the supercar capital of the world.
