Highlights
- Full repaint in the classic “Bianco”
- Engine rebuilt to 2L
- Technical inspection valid until June 2026
The appeal
The Touring Spider 2000 is the very definition of “dolce vita”: a superb two-seat convertible that seems tailor-made for cruising the cliffs of the south of France or the winding roads along the Amalfi coast.
Truly coachbuilt cars, these models were expensive and only 3,443 examples were produced. They use the 1900-model architecture, fitted with a bored-out 2L version of the four‑cylinder engine.
This 1960 example is particularly elegant in its “Bianco” livery with a black interior. It presents well thanks to a full repaint carried out more than twenty years ago. The interior is well kept and pleasantly original, not restored. Under the bonnet sits a rebuilt engine.

BEFORE BUYING
This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s General Conditions Terms and Conditions. By placing a bid and/or offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ We require a non-refundable fee to be paid if you are the winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQ and our FAQ and T&Cs for specific pricing.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without a warranty. Photos and descriptions are for guidance only, and a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase is prudent for peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyers’ fees. VAT may be included or not in the final auction or offer price, as stated in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction for you as well, and to that end we audit all registered UK vehicles – cars and motorcycles – on Car & Classic via an online HPI check to confirm they have no marker for damage or theft in insurance databases, and that no finance is due, so you can bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off in the event of an insurance total loss at the time of listing and we offer categorisation labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to assist you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always prudent to perform your own comprehensive vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ The purchaser is responsible for collecting the vehicle
or for delivery. Importing vehicles may incur additional duties and import taxes, so please check in advance. It is the bidder’s responsibility to confirm import eligibility before purchase.
