Touring Car - Tourer (Britain and Commonwealth)

Tourer (Britain and Commonwealth)

The British tourer is similar to the touring car, and the terms have been considered interchangeable. However, while some definitions specify tourers to have four or more seats, two-seaters that would be considered roadsters are also referred to as tourers. The term "all-weather tourer" was used for open vehicles with windows; these vehicles were later called dropheads or convertibles.

Tourers may have two or four doors. The belt lines of tourers were often lowered in the front doors to give the car a more sporting character.
