Cars

It is with great pleasure that I present the catalogue of the auction 1000 Finarte, dedicated to the legendary Mille Miglia,
the historical, unique and mythical Brescia race.
A race, whose re-enactment I had the privilege of organising from 2008 to 2012 and to which I dedicated the exhibition
“90 Years 1000 Miglia” last year, hosted at the Mille Miglia Museum and supported by Finarte.
Fifty years after its frst classic car auction, Finarte returns to the four wheels world. It does so with a thematic sale
focused on the cars that took part in the 1000 Miglia, on those cars eligible for its re-enactments and to the fascinating
automobilia linked to the freccia Rossa.
Finarte’s Automotive Department devotes a lot of attention to historical and iconographic research, in collaboration
with AUTOMOTIVE MASTERPIECES, as well as to provide transparent information on the eligibility and acceptability
of cars to the Mille Miglia historical re-enactment.
The catalogue presents fve cars that ran the Mille Miglia from 1949 to 1955, a car that ran at the Nürburgring and one
car that ran the Grand Prix Ciudad de Caracas.
Among the other cars, the catalogue showcases a rare pre-war vehicle, two barn-fnd, a car with pre-series chassis
number and two modern limited series supercars tribute to the 1000 Miglia.
The catalogue also features a selection of cars that will be only on display during the exhibition days that includes a
number of other automobiles that participated in the race and some exceptional Ferrari. For further information on
these cars, please request the “Special Exhibition” dossier by contacting the Department.
1000 FINARTE at the Mille Miglia Museum: a useful buying guide to purchase the perfect car for the Mille Miglia and
to invest in rare automobiles with a great and documented sporting past.
