After Borghese – The Peking to Paris Centenary

Celebrate one of the greatest adventures in motoring history with After Borghese, a beautifully produced hardback book documenting the 2007 Peking to Paris Centenary Raid.

One hundred years after Prince Scipione Borghese's legendary victory in the original 1907 Peking to Paris race, competitors from around the world retraced the route across some of the planet's most demanding terrain. This commemorative volume captures that remarkable journey through stunning photography, historical insight and first-hand accounts.

Featuring hundreds of high-quality images, the book follows crews from the Great Wall of China across the Gobi Desert, Mongolia, Siberia and Europe before reaching Paris, celebrating both the pioneering spirit of 1907 and the modern competitors who honoured that legacy. The 2007 centenary closely followed Borghese's original route, recreating one of motoring's defining adventures.

Whether you're a participant, enthusiast of the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge or collector of historic motoring literature, After Borghese is an outstanding addition to any library.
