Jaguar 75th anniversary continues with 27 car entry in Mille Miglia
Filed under: Motorsports, Jaguar
With Jaguar celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, honoring the automaker’s motorsports heritage surely has to play a big part in the party. With that in mind there are 27 Jags of various vintages entered in this year’s Mille Miglia revival. The factory and Jaguar Heritage Trust are bringing a team of six XK120s, C-Types and D-Types for the 1,000 round trip tour from Brescia to Rome and back.
The current Mille Miglia is open to cars that competed in the original race between 1927 and 1957 as well as other examples of the same model and vintage. In addition to the Jaguars, this year’s field includes the usual suspects like Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Ferrari as well as makes you’ve likely never heard of. Those more obscure brands include OM, Morettini (based on a Fiat) and Siata. The 2010 Mille Miglia began yesterday and runs through May 8th.
