This Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior is a presentable and very usable example of the gorgeously proportioned Italian classic, with a sought-after engine upgrade. It is now powered by Alfa’s 2.0-litre twin-cam engine, rather than the original 1.3-litre unit, which sends power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. The odometer currently displays 54,399 km, however this is not warranted. This original right-hand-drive GT 1300 Junior was first registered in 1971. It is noted to have benefitted from an earlier repaint, but the interior is believed to remain original. The car is finished in the lesser-seen dark red shade of Amaranto over a tan vinyl-trimmed interior accented by handsome light wood veneer inlays on the dashboard. It rides on the correct set of 14-inch silver-painted steel wheels with chrome hubcaps featuring Alfa Romeo script, all of which are shod in new Pirelli Cinturato P6 tyres. The specification includes a ‘Bakelite’ two-spoke steering wheel, opening quarter lights, embossed metal sill tread plates, as well as basic heating and ventilation controls. The car has been fitted with a SoundTech CD player radio, as well as a 2.0-litre Alfa Romeo twin-cam engine. The car is accompanied by two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car has a very straight body, good shut lines, and no visible rust. The paint is very presentable overall, but the rear panel where the number plate sits is flat and does not polish up to a shine. Inside, the upholstery is understood to be original and in great condition for its age, with one seam on the driver’s seatback which is partially unstitched. There are no punctures and there is very little wear on any of the seats or door cards. The headlining is original Alfa Romeo ‘Snakebite’ vinyl with no punctures or tears, and shows discoloration only. The dashboard is original covered in black vinyl, with no sun cracking or decay, nor any cracks on the top. The latest service was in July 2022. The work comprised a major service with an engine oil and filter change, along with replacement of the engine mounts and refurbishment of the fuel system, brakes, clutch, carburettors, and suspension. The seller notes the engine was also tuned and timed, and the gearbox oil changed. All service work above was noted to have been part of a major recommissioning service following a 10-year period during which the car sat unused. This Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior is a sought-after right-hand-drive example, which has been enhanced with a 2.0-litre inline-four and has recently benefitted from a recent major recommissioning service. A lively and engaging road car with glorious Giugiaro-penned styling, this GT Junior will make a stylish addition to any collection of classics, and will no delight its next owner every time its raspy twin-cam engine is fired into life.
