Congratulations from all of us at CCHMSC. They are home in Brescia. Both D Types, C Types and the XK's make it to the finish. As Ben Cussons in his C Type reported "Nothing beats a tunnel and a Jaguar engine on full chat! Glorious!" I guess they are all exhausted but ready to have a refreshing beer after that mamoth journey. The Mille Miglia 2015

Jodie Kidd hooray with David Gandy on arrival in XK120 back at Brescia	Beers in Brescia for Elliot Gleave, David Gandy and Jodie Kidd. 1000 miles well done.

The final leg from Parma to Brescia, with a visit to the F1 race track at Monza, just north of Milan. About 290Km today, 175 miles, with a hero's welcome for all the finishers I guess. Nice sunny start for the teams as they wake up in Parma.

Saturday 16 May
Third and possibly the longest stage today. 15 hours drive from Rome to Parma, via Siena and Pisa. Some 620km, nearly 380 miles. I bet that was hard going in a D Type, especially when they start to climb into the northern hills.

Beecham / Callum and Martin / Boorman arrive in Parma	Do James Martin and Charley Boorman look happy to have reached Parma or what !

We followed their progress as they headed out on the open road. It was good luck to all the Jaguar crews. Hope they remembered what we taught them only 2 weeks ago in Scotland.
