A true piece of Alfa Romeo racing history, a genuine factory Alfa Romeo 156 Touring car. This Alfa Romeo has had a very competitive racing career, winning the Campeonato de Italia de Superproducción in 1999, a recognised race car throughout Europe with great success throughout its racing life. Built by Fiat Auto Corse to FIA Super Production regulations in 1998, this Alfa Romeo 156 was used to good effect by renowned touring car team Scuderia Bigazzi to win the Campeonato de Italia de Superproducción with Luis Villamil behind the wheel.

Subsequently, it was imported to the UK by GA Motorsports, the team founded by works British and Italian Touring Car Champion Gary Ayles for use in the British Touring Car Championship. Running in the Super Production Class under the GA Janspeed banner, the car was driven in 2001 by Gavin Pyper who gathered great pace, eventually finishing 6th in the championship. In 2002, the car was entered for the full BTCC season by GA Motorsports for Alan Blencowe who finished 7th in the championship, recording three podium finishes.

In 2003, the GA Motorsports team once again entered the car for a limited campaign in the BTCC, where Chris Ryan scored a victory in the opening round at Mondello Park. Subsequently sold, the car was run in the Britcar Production Championship by Brunswick Automotive and was raced in the Nürburgring 24 Hour Race in 2005.

The car is offered in good condition with a fresh Brunswick Automotive-built 2.0-litre engine featuring a steel crankshaft and rods, JE forged pistons, and a full race cylinder head. The engine is fitted with Jenvey throttle bodies and runs EFI-Euro 6 engine management together with Magneti Marelli data logging, producing approximately 240 bhp. Constructed from a lightweight shell with a beautifully crafted T45 roll cage, the car is equipped with air jacks, Penske 3-way adjustable dampers, Brembo racing brakes, and a Bacci close-ratio dog engagement gearbox with LSD.

This car also benefits from fully adjustable suspension for corner weight adjustment with custom anti-roll bars front and rear. It features dual brake bias systems (pedal box and hydraulic), an external fast fuel-fill system, and externally chargeable air jacks. The car has been dry stored as part of a private collection and has not been raced since 2005, although it completed a successful one-hour test session in 2015 and has only seen occasional private road use since.

Now eligible for Britcar Production, CSCC Tin Tops, the Alfa Romeo Championship, and potentially Historic Production Super Touring Car Championships, the new owner would need to apply for FIA homologation papers. This historic touring car offers an exciting opportunity for collectors or racing enthusiasts to bring it back to the circuit where it truly belongs.
