-Touring of Milan was responsible for almost the entire production of 2900B bodies and his flowing designs on the 2900B were his masterworks.

In total, Touring constructed around 20 Spyders and 10 Coupes, while a unique and more garish grey cabriolet was designed by Pinin Farina as one of his first ever projects.

 Because of its high price, only 30 examples of the 2900B were completed for road use. After the war broke out, and settled down, Alfa Romeo had a hard time living up to its glorious pre-war years.
