A historic event for prototype enthusiasts, the Vernasca Silver Flag, now in its 27th edition, is a dynamic conservation and restoration competition for racing cars that parade at limited speed on a road closed to traffic.
Participants come from all over Europe to meet during this historic event that will see 150 competition cars, built from the beginning of the last century to 1972 with a documented past in sports competitions of the period, parade through the Apennines of Piacenza.
Among the beautiful Alfa Romeo Cs from the early 1930s, Porsches, Maseratis, Mercedes and all the great car manufacturers that have made racing history, the public of enthusiasts will also be able to admire the beautiful Ferrari 308 GT Bertone Rainbow, a unique example from 1976 driven by the great champion Miki Biasion, Eberhard & Co.’s brand ambassador.
Prizes will be awarded to the best preserved or best restored cars and it will be Eberhard & Co. that will have the honour of doing so with its Champion chronographs for the 'Best of Show pre-war cars' and the 'Best of Show post-war cars'.
A Champion chronograph will also be the protagonist of the Maserati Prize that the Piacentino Club Automotoveicoli d'Epoca, organiser of the event, wanted to celebrate in this year's edition.
Eberhard & Co. strengthens its bond with the world of vintage cars, which began over thirty years ago with the launch of the collection dedicated to the great racing driver Tazio Nuvolari and was recently enriched with a new chronograph with an unprecedented black dial and white counters.
