Well, it follows the same logics, of course.

But this is not a Touring product.

I've just found this - I'd forgotten all about it.  :sigh:

I have absolutely no idea.  ???

Is it perhaps the skeleton for a 1950 Veritas 'Comet' coupé ?

It´s a Komet C"superleggera"-style framework for the aluminium coupé body hull, indeed.

Just for interest was it "Komet" or "Comet".  I would have expected a German  "K" but a couple of my books use a "C" so I followed their lead.

Good point!

It´s been Comet after all.

I´ve looked it up in several books and now I´m sure.
