The story of Touring Superleggera
The early years In early 1926, two lawyers from Milan – Felice Bianchi Anderloni and Gaetano Ponzoni – decided to leave behind the world…
When the 1900 C Super Sprint Series II was launched, Carrozzeria Touring created a cabriolet concept and presented the design to Alfa Romeo, which was already at an advanced design stage for the 2000 Spider, for which they would award Carrozzeria Touring the contract.
With this in mind, Alfa Romeo chose not to commission the 1900 C Super Sprint Cabriolet presented by Carrozzeria Touring; however, the Milanese coachbuilder chose to assemble only one example, to showcase exactly how elegant the design concept could have been. This is the only car they built. This car, chassis AR1900C 10562, was assembled by Carrozzeria Touring early in 1957 and displayed at the Geneva Motor Show in March. However, the car was only just finished in time, even missing the first day of the show whilst it was being completed and delivered to the Carrozzeria Touring display overnight! This car was photographed upon completion at the Carrozzeria Touring workshop and on the stand at the 1957 Geneva Motor Show.
