Abstract: In a preceding work it is determined when a centrally symmetric convex body in

m a t h b b R^{d},

d = d_{1} c d o t s d_{l},

is the closed unit ball of a reasonable crossnorm on

m a t h b b R^{d_{1}} o t i m e s c d o t s o t i m e s m a t h b b R^{d_{l}} .

Consequently, the class of tensorial bodies is introduced, an associated tensorial Banach-Mazur distance is defined and the corresponding Banach-Mazur type compactum is proved to exist. In this paper, we introduce the hyperspace of these convex bodies. We called "the space of tensorial bodies". It is proved that the group of linear isomorphisms on

m a t h b b R^{d_{1}} o t i m e s c d o t s o t i m e s m a t h b b R^{d_{l}}

preserving decomposable vectors acts properly (in the sense of Palais) on it. A convenient compact global slice for the space is constructed. With it, topological representatives for the space of tensorial bodies and the Banach-Mazur type compactum are given. Among others, it is showed that the set of ellipsoids in the class of tensorial bodies is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space of dimension

p = f r a c d_{1} (d_{1} + 1) 2 + c d o t s + f r a c d_{l} (d_{l} + 1) 2 .

We also prove that both the projective and the injective tensor products of

-symmetric convex bodies are continuous functions with respect to the Hausdorff distance.
