In 1964, a little Alfa Romeo sedan driven by Dr Roberto Bussinello and Ralph Sach won the inaugural Sandown 6 Hour touring car endurance race. Next Sunday, Italian cars again will challenge for the trophy that has become one of the most prestigious in Australian motorsport - and again they will be in a world-class field.

Also making a nostalgic return to the Sandown sidelines will be that rare 1.6 litre Alfa Romeo Guilia Super Ti, which vanquished an international field including Mini Cooper, Volkswagen and Nissan works teams, a supercharged Studebaker driven by an Indy 500 winner and two Lotus Cortinas in the hands of relative unknowns Jackie Stewart and Allan Moffat.

Also 1st outright in the 1965 event (drivers Frank Gardner & Kevin Bartlett) and had a long racing history here

2005 pic reputed to be this very car - then being used as a daily-driver in japan!
