Mercedes-Benz and the Mille Miglia; two key players in the history
of motor sport first came together in the early thirties and
continued their racing association until 1957. The cars from
Stuttgart competed in the Brescian classic from 1930 to 1957 and
won the race twice. The first time was in 1931, when Rudolf
Caracciola drove the huge SSK to victory: the second was in 1955
with the 300 SLR, one of the famous Silver Arrows, crewed by
Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson.
This fascinating story, which not only deals with the sport itself
but also the difficult relationship that existed between Italy and
Germany throughout the Second World War, is illustrated with
exceptional photographs and other material, most of it provided by
Mercedes-Benz itself and never previously seen.
