MILLE MIGLIA "CHALLENGE" S/S


The 2nd of our "Challenge" Series of Sweatshirts is at the design stage in the printers. The images focus on the Italian Mille Miglia endurance race. It is well known for making the likes of Porsche, BMW and Ferrari famous and was run on 24 occasions until 1957. Since 1977 the event has been staged as a parade of pre 1957 cars.
Sir Sterling Moss takes pride of place as the only British winner of this Challenge in his Mercedes-Benz 300SLR. The number on the car 722 being his start time 7.22am.
Moss finished the course averaging 97.96mph, a record that would not be broken.
As with the "Everest" Sweatshirt, the "Miglia" will be individually numbered on the left sleeve close to the cuff from 1-100 and will not be reproduced again in the chosen colours.
The "Miglia" will be available in Marl Grey and Gold.
The "Everest" will be available in Marl Grey and Navy Blue.
Expected delivery into stores is the first week in November.
