Title: Touring Co Post by: Richard Fridd on 12 October, 2019, 09:33:22 AM From https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1164506 The Touring Convertible was not to become a Lancia but a Maserati. Maserati had the intention to market the Touring bodied convertibles but the plan failed. Lancia purchased the "empty bodies" and mounted their own engine. I have not heard of this before. Does anyone here know more?
