SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 2002
The worlds of sleek vintage sports cars, gourmet food and fine wine will converge to produce "Nob Hill Toasts The California Mille," a glamorous afternoon affair with special guest Mario Andretti on May 12 from noon to 6 p.m. The event kicks off the California Mille, which celebrates rare sports racing cars dating from 1927 to 1957.
Sponsored by The Fairmont San Francisco, the outdoor reception will showcase 70 one-of-a-kind sports racing and production cars from around the world. Highlighting this year's entries is a 1951 Ferrari 340 America whose owners have included race car driver Signor. Sebastiani of Rome and Sydney Chaplin, son of Charlie Chaplin. An Alfa Romeo Zagato Spider (one of four in the world), a 1954 Jaguar XK120 Roadster, and a 1956 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing are just a few of the exceptional cars to be displayed at this spectacular auto event.
Patterned after the world-famous Italian Mille Miglia, the California Mille is a four-day, 1000-mile tour through Northern California. On May 13, the Italian flag will drop to commence the 12th annual running of the California Mille. It is the only U.S. event to be recognized by the Mille Miglia Storica (Historical Society) of Brescia, Italy. Although the Mille Miglia originally ran from 1927 through 1957, it was revived as an annual event in 1982.
