2008 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. It is intended to be as nice as the California Mille, but to offer acceptance to post-57 cars.
-

Previous Years:
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.

LA CARRERA NEVADA |
|
|
In the 1950s, there were two great over-the-road races, Italy’s Mille Miglia and Mexico’s La Carrera Panamericana.
In 1991, Amici americani della Mille Miglia created the California Mille, a local motoring tour honoring the Mille Miglia. It is run each year.
Later in the ‘90s, we started La Carrera Nevada, a road tour in Nevada patterned after the Carrera Panamericana.
It is run on a more casual and irregular basis, whenever a group of those motoring enthusiasts get together for a new tour.
The name, and the symbol are the “glue” that identify the group.
