MILLE MIGLIA’S CHASSIS is a journey through the cars that took part to one of the most famous races of motorsport’s golden era. It is an ambitious project and the first of its kind: its aim is to document all the cars which participated at every edition of the original race between 1927 and 1957. MILLE MIGLIA’S CHASSIS will be developed in a series of 10 volumes: each car featured that took part to the Mille Miglia from 1927 to 1957 is presented with two lists: one about all the Mille Miglia speed races in which it took part, a second one of following events under the Mille Miglia name. To conclude, a third separate list comprehends the categories of the car, the stone from which spring the pages of the book and includes all the races and events in which the car took part worldwide in the years. Moreover, the cars that participated from 1958 to the events in the name of the Mille Miglia appear in another section of the book. Written for the motoring enthusiasts all over the World, MILLE MIGLIA’S CHASSIS is the definitive opus giving its readers a full perspective of the diversity and ingenuity of the machinery running the most beautiful race the world has ever seen.
In the second volume of the series there will be 45 cars featured which took part in the original editions of the race, plus another 11 of those participating in events under the Mille Miglia name from 1958 to today.

From Ickx to Thackwell and from Rindt to Streiff
For a brief period in motorsport history there was little to touch Formula 2 in providing showcase for driver talent. The series provided a perfect opportunity for dynamic young drivers to demonstrate their flair and ability against the top stars of Formula 1 in what was, unique and recalls these epic encounters that featured some of the hardest and closest-fought racing on historic tracks such as Monza, Reims, Rouen, Pau, Montjuic Park, Zandvoort and the old Nurburgring Nordschleife.
It also recalls the undisputed kings of F2 such as Rindt, Peterson, Jarier and Stuck as well as those lesser known talents who helped contribute to this golden era of motorsport.
