Over 130 classic cars gathered at Tokyo’s Meiji Shrine last Friday for the start of the 2016 La Festa Mille Miglia, a 1600km rally across Japan and not a single one broke down. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this event than that.This is the second year I’ve covered the La Festa Mille...

So here's a bonus gallery of some of the cars featured outside the main exhibition hall for you all to enjoy.As I mentioned in the main SIS article, I went on the Saturday which held a special exhibit by the classic car...
