    The recent Autoblog article "Alfa Romeo gives official blessing for Touring to build Disco Volante" makes a big deal about Touring getting Alfa Romeo's (née FIAT's) blessing to build more Disco Volantes for customers. This is not strictly necessary as Alfa Romeo 8C owners can do whatever they choose with their cars per Fair Use doctrine. However, as is typical in the business world in general and especially so in Italy, Touring is taking pains not to upset Alfa Romeo, whom they view as a potential partner or client on future design programs.

    Beautiful machine.

    I don't mean to bump an old thread, but given how beautiful this car is I doubt no one will care.

    What a sculpture! Fantastic!

    they just emailed me and unfortunately they have to cancel the appearance on the autoshow.

    will just update and post photos once I get hold of the car and finish my vacation.
