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
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
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
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
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
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
The “big spiders” produced entirely in Milan took longer than the Giulietta to enter the hearts of the fans of the brand, but now their value has far exceeded their smaller sisters. Obviously what has been said is valid under the same conditions: the 2000 version (or type 102) of the Touring-bodied spiders is, from… Read More Empty heart: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
We don’t often publish cars like this one, not because it doesn’t deserve it, but because they are very rare. In fact, all Flaminia Convertibles are rare, but in the 2.8-liter version, only 180 were built and who knows how many of them survive to this day. probably, in percentage terms, much more than the… Read More Accessible rarity: 1968 Lancia Flaminia Convertible 2.8 by Touring
The fact that, at the time of its presentation, the Giulia GTC has not been very successful in sales, does not make this car less fascinating. In particular, we like the green of which it is painted: we do not know the exact name of this shade but we have already seen it, in particular… Read More Polished intake: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC by Touring
Mr. Ermanno Cozza, the Maserati guru, defined the color “Celeste Chiaro” (light blue) as the “Magic Color”: a Maserati painted in that color acquired a very special charm. This 3500 GT would seem originally painted in the same color which, combined with the red interior, would be an extraordinary match, however we do not understand… Read More Magic color: 1962 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring
