With the Mille Miglia taking place this weekend, what better video to show you to get you in the mood than a documentary on the race’s history!

Although quite a lengthy feature this video gives an in-depth look at the history of the Mille Miglia and features some great details of the races, it’s half an hour long but well worth a watch while you’re having lunch! We love the vintage footage of priceless classic cars screaming around the Italian hills with a fantastically vintage commentary, its great to see images of high horsepower machines screaming along tight roads with spectators so close and in such good spirits! The documentary also features commentary and voiceovers from drivers that took part in the races including Sir Stirling Moss talking over footage of his Mercedes 300SLR blasting through the countryside which makes for some inspiring viewing.

This documentary should serve as a bit of a history lesson before this year’s Mille Miglia and is getting us awfully excited for what’s to come this weekend from Italy! Here at AutoJumble we’re super excited for the Mille Miglia so stay tuned for our coverage and look back at the race’s history as we get closer to the start at the weekend!
