THE MILLE AUTUNNO – Fall Colors Motoring Tour
|
 |
|
The Mille Autunno will be upgraded this year, both as to length and richness of content.
- Starting at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena.
- 825 miles over three driving days – 95% non-freeways.
- Overnights: The Inn at Morro Bay, Quail Lodge
- Finishing at the Cavallopoint Lodge in Sausalito, the newest, spectacular lodge you can imagine.
- Cars – Mille Miglia style up to 1972
- Cost – $4500
It is intended to be as nice as the California Mille, but to offer acceptance to post-57 cars.
Previous Years:
- 2007 Route: We'll meet in Stockton at noon on Friday, 5 October, 2007, for lunch and drive to Kirkwood. Long drive on Saturday, then back to Kirkwood and on Sunday to Murphys for final lunch.

Updates to the 2008 California Mille
- Allowed Car Entires: When the first Mille Miglia revival was held in 1982, cars were only 25 years old. Now, they’re 51! So we’ve decided to allow a very few post ’57 cars each year, as long as they’re fundamentally the same design as a ‘57 or earlier predecessor. For example, this will make all 356’s and Alfa Guilia’s eligible for consideration. But it won’t help Jaguar XK-E’s – they’re so obviously a next-generation car.
- Last Night of the 2008 Mille: A surprise is in store on the last night of the 2008 Mille. On that day, May 1, 2008, a fine new lodge, in a spectacular location, is opening near Sausalito. It’s Cavallopoint – the Lodge at the Golden Gate. You’ll understand how high they’re aiming when I tell you they’ve already hired a Michelin Two-Star (!) chef. If all goes as expected by May, we’ll have some exciting news about that same location and the Mille 2009.
