Over 30 classic cars of the hundreds that ran the Mille Miglia road race from 1927 to 1957 have been painstakingly tracked down, identified, and are now on gleaming display in Brescia, from a 1953 Ferrari 340 MM valued at €11 million to a 1951 Lancia Aurelia with a bad paint job that a lucky collector scooped up for €70,000.

Some of them will roll out of the Mille Miglia museum in a few weeks to take part in the legendary race running from Brescia to Rome and back from May 18. The rest will stay on display until January as part of the show “90 Years, 1000 Miles” which is timed to coincide with the road race’s 90th anniversary.
