Porsche has an impressive history - one that cannot easily be summed up in a nutshell. It is not just the milestones it has achieved, its many different models and its social significance that encapsulate what the Porsche brand has meant over the last 63 years. Porsche belongs to a rare collection of car brands that one could describe as mythical. In collaboration with Porsche Netherlands, the exhibition will stage a unique presentation of Porsche’s history. Part of the State of Art Porsche collection will also be on display, which ties in directly with the event’s second theme - Mille Miglia cars.

La corsa più bella del mondo or ‘the most beautiful race in the world’ was held for the first time on 26 March 1927. The race covered a thousand Roman miles from Brescia to Rome and back by following the white text on red arrows that have acquired special significance for many car enthusiasts. The Mille Miglia continued its tradition until 1957 when De Portago crashed his Ferrari, killing himself and twelve others. Since 1982, the Mille Miglia has been driven as a regular rally for cars that originate from the period 1927 – 1957. A beautiful collection of cars worthy of the designation ‘Mille Miglia car’ will be presented during InterClassics & TopMobiel 2012.

Once again, there are more than enough reasons to visit InterClassics &
TopMobiel 2012. I look forward to welcoming you!
