As history tells us, competition sports has been done since time immemorial and the opportunity that these fast machines has provided to go the next step in racing has been widely embraced by both the drivers and the spectators. In the start of the 1900’s barely a decade after the First World War was finished, Italy developed its own open road endurance dubbed as the Mille Miglia, or in English the Thousand Miles. The first race was done in March of 1927 and the Italians swept the first three places. Other European nations joined the Mille Miglia and it would take 4 years before a non-Italian driver won the coveted trophy. For more than a decade, the races became the marquee for endurance races in Europe. Many European developed cars joined the races to show their supremacy in car manufacturing. Many cars though did not survive the ordeal and some racers didn’t even get to finish the race. But they were still magnificent race cars that were the epitome of sports cars then. Due to some accidents that killed their drivers, maimed their vehicles and also killed some spectators, the races were discontinued for a while. The Mille Miglia races soon were resurrected after a three year hiatus during the war era. More cars from different European countries joined but it was still the Italians who dominated the events. But the races were discontinued after ten years as more accidents happened. Today, the Mille Miglia is best remembered for the competition that took place and the prestige it gave those that came out on top.

For a selected group of car buffs, it is the vintage race cars of these well-known brands that they are after. Fortunately though, there are still some of these vintage race cars that exist today.
