This book celebrates the legendary Mille Miglia in the post-war years, from the resumption of the competition in 1947 to its demise in 1957. Contemporary articles from long-established and well-known British magazines such as Motor, Motor Sport and The Autocar vividly transport the reader back to those exciting days. The previously unpublished monochrome and colour photographs that enrich this book belong to the Novafoto archives, now owned by Giorgio Nada Editore, and were taken by the official Mille Miglia photographer Alberto Sorlini.

First held in 1927, and staged periodically over the next 30 years, the Mille Miglia (‘thousand miles’) road race was one of the greatest of all motorsport events. It attracted a vast number of entries, from amateur drivers in family cars as well as the great drivers and marques. Published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the last race, this fascinating book recreates the races, the atmosphere, the politics, the technical changes – even the weather and road surfaces.
