There is an article in (I think) in the last issue of FORZA Magazine.
It has a LOT of information about the Historic Mille. Also several
months back Peter Eagan wrote in ROAD & TRACK about participating in
the event. One of my fondest desires it to someday go to Italy and
run the race... It'd be great... A memory to treasure for a
lifetime... To be able to do it once would be fantastic, yet there
are folks who run the Historic Mille Miglia EVERY YEAR... Besides
I've got family there, near Ancona. The Mille goes right through
Ancona...

As I understand the rules the car you run MUST be contemporary
to the years the Mille was run... I believe there's a $5,000 entry
fee (which gets you in the race and some nice mementos). Transport for
you, your car and team over and back, gasoline and most of the food,
if not the lodging too I believe is up to you ( could be wrong about
some of that). Basically it's an easy TSD rally with some speed
stages thrown in for snicks).
