1965 BMW 1800 TISA

This car competed in the U2TC Touring Cars race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2008.

It's the 1965 BMW 1800 TISA of Richard Shaw and Jackie Oliver, one of three such cars to take part in the race. The BMW 1800 was introduced in 1963 with the 1,773cc 4-cylinder inline M10 engine and the 1800 TI (Turismo Internazionale) model had upgrades, including twin caburettors and higher compression pistons developed by the Alpina tuning company. In 1964 the 1800 TISA (Turismo Internatzionale Sport Ausführung) was introduced as a homologation special, 200 examples of which were built and only sold to drivers who were holders of a racing licence.
