The original Mille Miglia was founded in 1927 and continued through to 1957. The Mille Miglia (One Thousand Miles) was an Italian road race that ran for 32 years starting and finishing in Brescia.
A race no more, the retrospective Mille Miglia has turned the most famous of road races into a legend. Within this legend is a magical force which keeps the image of this motoring adventure alive, recreating its fascination (and averting its demise). The Melbourne Mille is all about enthusiasm for classic cars, partaking in a road adventure unobtainable in a modern car, driving for the pure pleasure of the experience.
The Melbourne Mille is held annually in spring; it has run since 1999 and accepts classic and sporting cars up to the year 1976. The Melbourne Mille takes all the best roads, scenery and classic sports cars to create an unforgettable adventure.
