The Mille Miglia 2015 took place 14-17 May in Italy on the historic roads from Brescia to Rome and back to Brescia. This year’s 1000 Miglia featured a wonderful selection of 438 entrants built between 1927 and 1957 challenging each other and themselves in the modern revival.
Far more than a historic car rally, the Mille Miglia Storica is a virtual step back to the era of 1927 to 1957 when these racing cars roared across the Italian countryside and towns at the hands of such greats as Nuvolari, Marzotto, Biondetti, Caracciola and Moss. And as the pictures attest, spectators of all ages enthusiastically support and cheer the cars and drivers.

This a race just for Mercedes and Ferrari ? Sure seems that way by these photos.
Many makes were present, we had the most chrome and the healthiest sounding engine! 54 Lincoln Capri sport coupe
Complimenti Mr. Mahiels! Nobody can convey the atmosphere of the scenery and the character of the cars like you do.
Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories. As a young fellow in the last years of the Mille Miglia, it always held a fascination for me when we got reports in Australia.Again many thanks.
Incredible Photography capturing the atmosphere of the event completely. Thankyou.
