In the latest issue of "Aston", published by the Aston Martin Heritage Trust and also in the "Dudley Coram Lectures, David Burgess-Wise has contended that Touring took the inspiration for the Ferrari 166 coupe from the Aston Martin DB2. He thinks they look similar. I am the proud owner of a DB2 and while I find the thought of this satisfying I also find it unbelievable! I have my reasons but I would be interested in hearing from Italian car fans what they know. Not opinions, everyone has one of those, I am looking for facts here folks.
