After the bike race last Wednesday on Saturday it was the turn of the cars in the Mille Miglia which passed through Bagni di Lucca on its way to Parma.

All entrants had to be vintage or classic cars pre 1957 which had attended the original race format.

The first race was in 1927 starting and finishing in Brescia covering a course of 1000 miles.

During wartime there was a gap and then in 1957 the original race format was stopped.

One of the most famous winners of the race was Sterling Moss.
