Satan’s Breath: 1935 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B Turismo by Touring

A truly exceptional Alfa Romeo 6C 2300, in completely original and matching-numbers condition, with elegant Touring Superleggera coachwork. What makes this car particularly significant is its documented provenance: it was delivered on April 16, 1935, to none other than Captain Gabriele d’Annunzio (“The Poet”), Prince of Monte Nevoso, and remained in his possession until February… Read More Satan’s Breath: 1935 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B Turismo by Touring

Old graphite: 1963 Alfa 2600 Spider by Touring

Here is another rare 2600 Spider in almost original condition that has emerged from nowhere after a 40-year hibernation: we can say that this long sleep has not harmed it. Of course, after four decades of inactivity, the engine is unlikely to want to wake up and will probably need to be completely rebuilt, especially… Read More Old graphite: 1963 Alfa 2600 Spider by Touring

Black patina: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC

One of the latest works of the glorious Touring body shop was the conversion of the GT most loved by Italians into a Cabriolet. Unfortunately, this conversion was not very commercially successful and very few were produced, and even fewer survive: this example is a survivor, probably part of the spectacular Dutch Palmen collection, containing… Read More Black patina: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC

Unmolested beauty: 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport by Touring

As soon as we saw this ad we stopped looking elsewhere, it was enough for us to see the profile of this wonderful coupé. It is a 6C 2500 SS built in 1938, i.e. the decade before the Second World War in which Alfa Romeo, especially in collaboration with the nearby Touring body shop, churned… Read More Unmolested beauty: 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport by Touring

The last song: 1965 Sunbeam Venezia by Touring

This car was the swan song of Carrozzeria Touring, indeed, perhaps it was the cause of its financial meltdown. Let’s start from the beginning: The car was the result of the collaboration between the Rootes group and the Touring body shop, which already assembled the Sunbeam Alpine and the Hillman Super Minx in its Milan… Read More The last song: 1965 Sunbeam Venezia by Touring

Ti-red: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring

This 2000 Spider has definitely seen better days, but it’s still better than many “projects” seen lately. In fact, we have seen models like this, or 2600s, so rotten that we don’t understand how they are still all in one piece, for sale at prices which, although apparently low, would have led the owner to… Read More Ti-red: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring

Open top: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC by Touring

It’s Touring, but it’s not Superleggera. Indeed, this GT was probably a few tens of kilos heavier than the coupe from which it was derived. As already mentioned other times, this version had been entrusted to Touring for the conversion to Cabriolet and the consequent reinforcement of the body to be done professionally and with… Read More Open top: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC by Touring

Italian streamliner: 1937 Fiat 1500 By Touring

If someone told you that he spent six figures on a car that only has 44 hp, you would probably think that at the very least he is crazy. However, engine power is often a secondary parameter compared to the rarity and beauty of a car, especially when it comes to cars built between the… Read More Italian streamliner: 1937 Fiat 1500 By Touring

54 years ownership: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring

It is amazing how, after years of recovering abandoned and hidden classic cars, those who have good prospectors at their disposal often manage to pull the rabbit out of the hat. The seller who offers this 3500 GTi is certainly not new to these companies, and this time he has found a 3500 GTi with… Read More 54 years ownership: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring

Parts car, perhaps: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring

The seller of this 2000 Spider – without an engine – says this auction is not about a car in the strict sense but a spare parts stash. From a certain point of view we agree: until a few years ago, let’s say up to about ten years ago, probably all these spare parts had… Read More Parts car, perhaps: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
