A rare 1300 Junior pleasingly lively
Superb condition, as good as new
Overhaul valid until 30 October 2025
The Attractions
Alfa Romeo's original 'cuttlebone' Spider is revered today as a style icon, but the original buyers proved not to appreciate its radical look. The result was the restyling of the Duetto in the 'coda tronca' or 'coda Kamm' style, which itself became a design classic.
The rare 1300 Junior was conceived as an entry-level model, equipped with the small-displacement and pleasingly lively version of Alfa Romeo's twin-camshaft 'Nord' engine. Only 4,557 examples were built, and those remaining are rare compared to the 1750 and 2000 versions.
Extensively restored until 2021, this splendid light blue 1300 Junior is almost comparable to a brand new example. It has covered only 200 km since the completion of the work, which involved the structure and mechanics and is carefully documented by photographs. It has an overhaul valid until October 2025.
It is ready to be enjoyed and, given the reputation of these wonderful cars, is sure to provide unforgettable experiences.
History and Documentation
The car is described as a 1973 1300 Junior and this seems to be confirmed by the absence of rear seats

We are told that it has covered only 200 km since restoration
Original registration papers and documentation of changes of ownership
Invoices documenting the restoration work are supplied with the car

We have been informed that it can be registered with the ASI once the dashboard has been replaced with one corresponding to the one originally adopted

Conditions
Beautiful Azzurro Pininfarina paintwork finished to a high standard
Only 200 km driven since restoration and mostly used for shows and exhibitions

Complete restoration from stripped sheet metal documented with photographs

The quality of this car's restoration is carefully documented in the photographs, but stands out clearly in the finished work. With charming blue paint and perfect panel assembly, this car is a far cry from the red car that appears in the photographs before restoration.
The interior has also been finished to a high standard and looks as good as new thanks to very limited use. It is a car that conforms to factory specifications with the exception of the dashboard, which is from a 2000 Duetto. If this were replaced, the car would be eligible for ASI certification.
The Mechanics
Completely rebuilt 1300 cc twin-shaft Nord engine with two twin-body carburettors
Engine restoration included replacement of pistons
Five-speed manual gearbox
We are informed that the serial numbers of all components are correct and matched
The Nord 1300 cc engine may not match the performance of the larger Spider models, but it is much appreciated by enthusiasts for its characteristic smoothness in revving up. The engine in this car has been completely rebuilt and has covered only 200 km since restoration. We are informed that the serial numbers of all components are correct and matching

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
