On April 30th - May 1st 1955 a race was held in Italy, around public roads, called the 22. Edizione Mille Miglia, which translates to "22nd Edition 1000 Miles". This was the golden era of motorsports and this race included such names as Sterling Moss and Juan Manuel Fangio. An American racing driver by the name of John Fitch won the "GT+1.3" class in the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL and came 5th overall. The cars were set off at 1-minute intervals and their race numbers corresponded to their cars start time. John Fitch's allocated start time was at 4.17am thus the number which adorned his car was 417. Fast forward over 60 years and Mercedes-Benz decided that this race and John Fitch's achievement deserved some fresh recognition and thus the SL500 Mille Miglia 417 Edition was born.
