The 6C 2300 B was the first appearance of a Touring bodied car utilizing the Superleggera construction with a structure of small diameter tubing and alloy body panels to strengthen the framework. To celebrate the marque’s 1-2-3 position victory at the 24 Ore di Pescara, a series of cars were built to race-winning specifications and known as the 6c 2300 Pescara. The 6c 2300 B was the second series produced, and featured fully independent suspension and hydraulic brakes.

Continuing the success of the earlier 6c 2300, the 6c 2500 utilized Touring’s Superleggera lightweight aluminum bodywork over thin circular tubing and a 2.5-litre inline six cylinder engine with a triple carburetor configuration. The sporting two seat coupe retains its original aluminum body, gearbox, and engine and has been restored to concours condition by renown Alfa Romeo restorer Dino Cognolato of the famous Carrozzeria Nova Rinascente over the course of two years.

The 400 GT 2+2 built upon the previous 350 GT with a larger version of the 3,939cc V12 engine, and a larger body shape to fit two passengers in the rear, whereas the 350 GT had space for only luggage or a single passenger. The 400 GT also received a Lamborghini designed gearbox with Porsche style synchromesh on all gears to improve the driving experience.

The Volante was the result of thirty-seven unallocated DB5 chassis remaining at the start of the production of the DB6. It would merge the best traits of the DB5 and DB6 into a single chassis for a short run of “interim” convertibles. The bodywork was constructed from Touring’s Superleggera process, but added distinctive visual cues from the DB6 and used the race proven twin-cam 4.0-litre straight six cylinder engine with triple SU carburetors.

After World War II, General Franco commissioned an extremely talented team of former Alfa Romeo engineers to build a world class sports car to promote Spanish interests. Beneath the Touring Superleggera bodywork, the Pegaso features an innovative chassis using stress-beating inner panels and a five speed transaxle. The highly advanced all alloy, gear driven quad-camshaft, 32-valve V8 engine is nestled against the bulkhead, resulting in a car with 50/50 weight distribution.

David Brown entrusted Touring Superleggera to create a dashing new body for the successor to the DB2. Beneath the elegant Italian styling was Tadek Merak’s recently developed 3.7-litre dual overhead camshaft inline six cylinder engine with twin SU HD8 carburetors capable of producing 240 horsepower and a 140mph top speed- and immediately put the DB4 in the spotlight as one of the fastest cars on the market. This example is a rare early production model with rear hinged bonnet and no bumper over-riders, and produced from the factory in the left hand drive configuration.
