"The 1955 Mille Miglia"

Moss and his navigator Jenkinson, with the now famous #722 Mercedes Benz 300 SLR, set the event record at an average of 157,650 km/h (97.96 mph) which was the fastest ever on this 1,597 km (992 mile) course in 10 h 07' 48" of fantastic driving.

Castellotti's big 4.4 litre Perrari 121 LM #723 retired with tyre trouble.
