This may be familiar to some, but I have only just found it:

Lots of Lancias; I particularly liked the Ardea at 15.30 - no way was he wasting time by stopping at the control!

I have a couple of these.  In a previous life I'd have signed up for the lot.

Next to the MM film on YouTube was this one I remember enjoying:

There used to be a version of the 1953 Mille Miglia Shell film available online with an English soundtrack, but it now seems not to be there. I think it was originally released in English. I have a copy on DVD and can make a copy for anyone interested.

It is a remarkable film and is a tribute to the director/ film cameraman Bill Mason. An extract from his obituary includes: “In 1953, coverage of the Mille Miglia was elaborately planned, with British and Italian cameramen deployed over hundreds of miles along the peaks and folds of the Alpine course; Mason, co- driver in a Ferrari, used a portable newsreel camera from the passenger seat during the race”.

Nick Mason is Bill Mason’s son.

More details on the film include:
