This Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior is a recently repainted example of the Bertone-designed two-door coupe. Under the bonnet sits a 1.3-litre twin-cam engine, producing around 66kW, which is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This Australian-delivered GT 1300 Junior was built in 1971, but is noted to have been purchased by its first owner from Addison Motors Alfa Romeo in Hindermarsh in 1973. The car reportedly remained with the first owner for 46 years. It suffered some minor damage to the right rear quarter early in their ownership, after which it was stored at their house for 43 years. Since then, it has been recommissioned, and the most recent owner has kept the car for four years. The odometer indicates a very modest 23,792 miles – which is thought to be correct given its long period off the road. A ‘Series 2’ example, this handsome GT 1300 Junior features low-back bucket seats and the ‘frog eye’ dashboard. The car is finished in Biancospino, a classic Alfa Romeo shade of white, over a Nero vinyl interior with elegant wood trims. It now rides on GTA-style 15-inch wheels, shod with a set of Kuhmo Ecowing ES01 tyres. The cabin features a three-spoke black Bakelite steering wheel, Veglia fuel and temperature gauges, heating and ventilation controls, and manually operated windows. The vehicle will be accompanied by its factory-supplied jack. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car sustained light rear quarter damage which has been repaired and the car has since been fully repainted. The interior is original, and the passenger seat has some slight tears and cracking on the very top, though this is not very noticeable. The latest service was in 2020, since when it is noted to have covered fewer than 500km. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the coolant, gearbox oil and brake fluid, and spark plugs. The seller notes that during the most recent ownership the car was fitted with two new brake boosters, brake and clutch masters, and a new exhaust system. The Dell’Orto carburettors and fuel pump regulators were rebuilt, and the brake callipers were overhauled two years ago. This Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior is a well-presented example of the popular Italian classic in a handsome factory colour scheme. Delivered new to Australia, and having spent most of its life stored in the custodianship of its first owner; this example now benefits from a recent repaint and some notable maintenance work. It is ready to be enjoyed by another enthusiast, and should prove to be a charming companion on the open road.
