01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Ferrari 166 Inter Touring: The first Ferrari bodied by Touring appeared at the Turin Motor Show in 1948 wearing tall and arguably unsporting coachwork by Touring. While a factory brochure produced that same year used a drawing of this car to illustrate the “166 Sport” and a drawing and photo of s/n 003S to illustrate what was to be called the “166 Inter,” it’s obvious today that these were reversed, with “Inter” being the new designation of Ferrari’s first line of production road cars. Even so, a small number of Inters would be driven in competition, a fact that would also be true of the subsequent 195 and 212 Inter models. The Berlinetta Lusso built by Touring was inspired by the 166 Inter.

Each point is a completed sale with its own date, in chronological order. Dates are positioned by calendar time, with approximate placement when only a year or month is documented. The connecting line shows observed sales prices in this currency, not an appreciation index: transactions may concern different chassis and specifications. Factory prices and unsold estimates are excluded.
