This is one of the two cars that Alfa Romeo manufactured for a Spanish V6 Cup which eventually did not take place, so they remained as two unique cars.
Both cars we officially developed by the Alfa Romeo racing department with the help of the Spanish driver Luis Villamil. This driver had won the Spanish Touring Car championship in 1988, 1989 and 1995 with Alfa Romeo cars, and in 1999 he won the Italian Super Production Championship with an Alfa Romeo 156. In 2006 he reached 1st overall place in the Alfa 147 Cup, and in 2007, the Alfa 147 Cup team championship, and 2nd in the individual classification after his teammate Antonio Chacón.
Even though the car at auction was never used for racing, it has an official Alfa Romeo racing chassis number. Its history is fully known. It was on display at the official Alfa Romeo booth at the Madrid Motor Show and at the Circuito del Jarama (the owner still has pictures of the car on display).
Once the V6 Cup project was abandoned, both manufactured cars spent many years at Fiat Spain headquarters in Madrid. Afterwards, they were both acquired by a Fiat dealership in Barcelona, where the current owner eventually acquired this one.
Therefore, it has only had three owners since new, and the current owner has had it for about 8 years. When he acquired it, the engine timing was restored. He has barely used the car twice since the purchase. The odometer reading is real, the car is almost as good as new.
The car has self-locking, gearbox oil radiator, engine oil radiator, ventilated brakes, N Technology bars approved for the 2000 engine.
The car includes two sets of rims, one with rain tyres and the other with dry weather tyres. It also has a passenger seat, which did not originally come with the car.
The vehicle is located in Madrid, Spain. 67181353
