The point is that in an old 1962 magazine (Quattroruote) I read that Touring was assembling the Hillman Super Minx and building the Sunbeam Venezia. I am not sure even the Sunbeam Alpine was assembled. I clearly remeber in late 1975 a wrecked dark blue Hillman Minx in Turin with somewhere the script "Touring". -- Last edit: 2013-03-17 08:06:21
