On offer here is a rare opportunity to own a genuine factory Nordauto-built Alfa Romeo Touring car, boasting an incredible spec and featuring all the best components including Penske dampers, Bacci dog-box, EFi Management etc.

Chassis N.D5719369.LM002.04/99 was originally built in 1999 by Nordauto for Scuderia Bigazzi and used by Luis Villamil to impressively win the Italian Championship. After this success, the 156 was later sold to GA Motorsport and used successfully in the BTCC until 2003.

The car’s history is detailed below:

• 1999 Campionato Italiano Super Produzione // Scuderia Bigazzi // Luis Villamil
• 2000 BTCC // GA Motorsport // Gavin Pyper
• 2001 BTCC // GA-Janspeed Racing // Gavin Pyper
• 2002 BTCC // Gary Ayles Motorsport // Alan Blencowe
• 2003 BTCC // GA Motorsport // Chris Ryan
• 2005 Nurburgring 24 Hours // Brunswick Motorsport
• 2017-2024 HSCC // Touring Car Legends // Mardi Gras Motorsport

The seller tells us that the Brunswick Motorsport-built 2-litre engine has covered just 350km and the gearbox, built by Mardi Grass Motorsport, just 150km.

During its current long-term ownership, the car has been prepared and run regardless of cost by legendary team, Mardi Gras Motorsport, with its last race taking place at Brands GP in July 2024. The seller informs is that 'It’s a lovely car to drive, neutral but responsive chassis, good power and great brakes. A very well balanced and enjoyable package.'

Supplied with spare wheels and the original single-plenum intake system, this is a genuine factory car with championship-winning provenance, offering a variety of competition options and therefore, in our opinion, offering incredible value for money.
