Mission

Registro Internazionale Touring Superleggera was created with the mission of joining in one single internazional Club all the collectors and fans of the Touring Body Shop and with the pourpose of keeping track of all Touring Superleggera vehicles produced along the years.

In the pursuit of this goal, we created an archive containing the following elements: chassis, bodywork and engine serial number, year, vehicle description and colors, inside and outside photos.
Register members and anyone with knowledge about the existence of a Touring vehicle are kindly invited to let any available detail: As of today, the archive contains about 2500 vehicles, filed by letters and numbers, where letters stand for brands (from A = Alfa Romeo to Z = Talbot).

The Register is obviously digitally stored and it contains the following categories: brands,  known owners, chassis and bodywork numbers.

Interesting information on the Touring production emerged by analyzing the Register's data processed on the computer. At the moment we can indicate with a certain approximation the body work numbers which we have identified for each year. This approximation will slowly reduce as other automobile registrations are going to take place. We have to take into consideration that the Touring Body Shop assigned lot numbers to a car production and these numbers could exit from the factory even after the production of other body work to which they were already assigned.

 * Numbering seems to have started at Number 1001 and to continue up until 1999. The first few bodies known of, have in fact a four digit number in various points, mean while it isn't possible that the factory had produced 1000 bodies only in the year of 1927 because number 1331 was found in a vehicle of 1928. At this point we should return to 1000 and continue because the vehicles after 1931 clearly had numbers from 1000 on.

** During World War II the Touring Baby Shop continued its body work production. Even though production slowed down, Touring constructed various products such as bicycles or fairing outboard motors and acquired military orders for airplane parts.
