With the 2014 Jaguar F-Type having recently drawn the automotive world's eyes back to the company's sports car past, the brand is capitalizing on that attention as it plans to run a trio of C-Types and an XK120 in the 2013 Mille Miglia. The Mille Miglia is no longer the no-holds-barred, flat-out open road race it once was, but the classic car tour is still a spectacle of racing history.
