My Japanese isnt the best, but the question has to be asked, is it a genuine Supertourer?? The only english characters bouncing at me are 155 V6... so presumably it isnt...

The car also doesnt seem as barred up inside as the similar car that was campaigned here in Australia by Steve Richards, David Auger and Andre Morgan

Seems kind of odd that it has road plates on it...

I'll Babel it.

I think it means that Itoh made it for this one, and the real JTCC and BTCC cars.

Makes it accurate though!

Interesting, not quite what kmchow had in mind I dont think, a road car tarted up for the track with some genuine and non genuine bits and pieces. I guess an Alfa 155 is rare in Japan anyway, as it is here in Australia too...

That babel conversion is quite impressive...

I didn't notice the license plates, but didn't the description mention something about it being the real thing and racing in a few JTCC races?? OTOH, it does seem awfully cheap, even for an old ST car.

Something doesn't add up about that Alfa. How many real Super Tourers have 77,000km on the clock (and do they even have an odometer!?)

It's also a 4WD V6 - weren't those 155's only seen in the DTM and that aint a DTM car! It has 2 seats, and the rollcage to me doesn't look too extensive. Perhaps a converted road going Alfa.

True, the km reading makes me wonder too.
I guess it's both good/bad it ain't a ST car. Good b/c you can drive it on the road, sad b/c it ain't a ST car. It's cool you can fool some people including me!!! Now this car is nice--not those tacky Fast and Furious type of car mods!!
