Peking to Paris Car Rally. On August 10th, the first cars arrived in Paris. It was Prince Scipione Borghese’s car and his chauffeur, Ettore Guizzardi. It was an Itala 35/45 HP. They won a magnum of champagne and enormous visibility. The other cars arrived at least twenty days later, with the exception of the three-wheeled French Contal, lost in the deserts of Mongolia, while its mechanic and driver were saved thanks to the hospitality of a group of nomads. Godard’s Dutch Spyker came in second, while the French cars finished third and fourth.
