1975 | Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 GT Junior

History of the Alfa Romeo GT

1963 was an important year in automobile history. Icons were presented at the IAA in Frankfurt, such as the Porsche 901, the first Pagoda or the new Alfa Coupé. Sober, taut, harmonious and functional were the new cars, and the coupés from the drawing boards of Giorgio Giugiaro of the Bertone company were among the most timeless and beautiful designs from this house. Under the bonnet was the house's famous twin cam engine, which had made its debut in the Giulietta in 1953 and ten years later was still one of the best four-cylinder engines in the world: light-alloy block and cylinder head, two overhead camshafts and a solid duplex chain as camshaft drive, plus, in the case of the coupé, two double carburettors and 106 hp from 1.6 litres made the heart of every sportily ambitious driver beat faster. The racing versions 1300 or 1600 GTA drove circles around the competition and even the Alfa facelift with smoothed front end, missed from the end of the 60's, did no harm to the economic success. On the racetracks, the Bertone GT collected trophies by the dozen, even after production had ceased! Well over 200,000 examples left the factory in Arese/Italy. Unfortunately, corrosion and poorly repaired accident damage took their toll on the coupé's in the years that followed, and so the worldwide stock was significantly reduced.

Vita of the GT Junior 1600 offered here

The Alfa Romeo GT Junior 1600 offered here is a very well maintained coupé from 1975. The first delivery was in Sweden and there were only 2 previous owners in almost 50 years. This car is largely in a fantastic almost untouched original condition. The bodywork and paintwork in “giallo piper” are still in quite good condition. The interior in “grigio unito” is very clean and well maintained, the carpet without damage, as is the headliner. The vulnerable dashboard is also immaculate. The engine and gearbox have always been technically maintained with foresight and are also in very good condition. There are no signs of rust on either the underbody or the bodywork.
