Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Quarto (30 x 23 cm). Original publisher's bold red leatherette. Cover and spine gilt. Pictorial dust jacket. 207, [i] pp., illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs and circuit maps of every route. First edition in English (originally published in Italian, 1979). The Mille Miglia a thousand miles of open Italian road, run from Brescia south to Rome and back, through towns and villages where the crowds stood inches from the passing cars was staged twenty-four times between 1927 and 1957, and it was like nothing else in the history of sport. More than a race, this was a national event and a seasonal ritual. The names of its great winners Nuvolari, Varzi, Campari, Caracciola, Moss read like a roll-call of the greatest drivers in automotive history, and the cars they drove were among the most celebrated objects the twentieth century produced. Count Giovanni Lurani was uniquely placed to write its history. A fine racing driver himself, he competed in nine editions of the Mille Miglia between 1932 and 1952, finishing three times first in his class. This history provided him with an intimate knowledge of the race: its greatest moments of triumph and tragedy, and the vivid personalities that were involved. Narrated year-by-year, this is a definitive authority and chronicling of the event - the only account written from the inside. The race was ended in 1957 after a fatal accident near Guidizzolo which claimed the lives of the Marquis Alfonso de Portago, his navigator Edmund Nelson, and nine spectators; it has never been run again in its original form. Lurani's book stands as its permanent memorial. Fine in a near fine unclipped dust jacket. A small amount of foxing to the dust jacket inner faces. Otherwise in beautiful condition throughout.
