So maybe a car that would be eligible for both the 1000 Miglia and Monaco Historic. That would mean, usually, a sports racing car 1952-55 or 57, it seems looking at Monaco grids.
I should look at Monaco GP sports racing cars in period.
Will Monaco Historic be back to its usual slot for 2022 after this years postponement to 2021.
there is a list of eligible cars on the website of the Mille Miglia
best check that
but, as a general guideline
racing on public roads was stopped by law in 1958
because of the De Portage accident during the 1957 Mille Miglia, that killed several spectators
this killed not only the Mille Miglia, but also the Motogiro for motorbikes and the Milano Taranto race, also for motorbikes, all events hugely popular in post war Italy
So, by consequence, any model that debuted after 1957 has zero chance to get into the Mille Miglia.
The only Lotus that can do the Mille Miglia is the Eleven
