Descrizione

Some cars try to impress you. Others don’t need to. They simply do what they were built to do—with such grace, balance, and style that you feel it instantly. This is one of those cars. The Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior. Often referred to as the small Bertone. A nickname that, frankly, does it a disservice. Because small it is not—certainly not in presence.

This GT 1300 Junior dates from 1971 and features the exquisite bodywork penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, one of his earliest and most celebrated designs for Bertone. Look closely at the roofline, the glass proportions, the elegant grille. Everything is exactly right. Even after more than fifty years, this Alfa remains stunning—arguably more beautiful now than ever before.

In 2012, the body was fully restored, thoroughly and properly executed. Following the restoration, the car was refinished in Blu Olandese, a color that could only have come from Alfa Romeo. Deep, rich, and slightly mysterious. It pairs beautifully with the renewed black interior, which is neatly upholstered and finished to a high standard.

Mechanically, this Junior has been well cared for over the years. The engine is in good order, the gearbox operates correctly, and the car drives exactly as it should. Simply get in and drive—no fuss, no excuses.

And driving it brings a smile every time. The 1.3-liter twin-cam four-cylinder is light on its feet and eager to rev. Not fast in a modern sense, but wonderfully alive. Just enough performance to remind you that Alfa Romeos were built for people who genuinely enjoy driving. The manual gearbox shifts smoothly, the chassis feels tight without ever becoming uncomfortable. You sit low, hear the engine sing, and experience the unmistakable atmosphere of the 1970s—in the best possible way.

This Junior has been registered in the Netherlands since 2012 and has been lovingly maintained ever since. A photo report of the restoration is available, along with invoices. An honest, well-kept classic that is ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.

And perhaps best of all: it is compact enough for city driving, yet perfectly suited for a long journey to Italy. And when you stop for fuel along the way, someone will inevitably approach you.
“Beautiful car. What engine does it have?”

You’ll smile—because you know it’s not about the numbers. It’s about the feeling.
The Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior is not a museum piece. It’s a car for those who want to experience driving. To turn the key and forget, just for a moment, what day it is. And this example? It’s ready to do exactly that for you.
