Description
Freshly imported from the warm, dry climate of South Africa, this early GT 1300 Junior is a rare find – combining originality, patina, and upgraded performance. A desirable “step nose” example, it has been sympathetically enhanced with a 1973 GTV 2000 engine, providing a notable boost in power while preserving the car’s classic charm.
Remarkably, this Alfa has had only two previous owners – the most recent having cherished it for over 40 years. It has covered just 44, 000 miles from new, and remains largely original, right down to its hubcaps. The tan interior has never been retrimmed and remains in outstanding condition, a testament to the car’s gentle use and dry storage. A beautiful three-spoke GT Veloce steering wheel has been fitted, adding a subtle and desirable upgrade to the cockpit.
Structurally, the car is exceptional. There are no signs of rust or filler, and the bodywork presents beautifully, complete with its original chrome trim intact. It's a refreshingly honest car that has never been restored but has been clearly well looked after throughout its life.
This Alfa Romeo delivers everything you want from a classic Italian coupé – responsive handling, rev-happy performance, and a chassis that feels alive beneath you. The uprated engine, step-nose body, and low mileage make this a truly special machine. Whether you're winding through Cotswold backroads or simply admiring it in the garage, the driving experience is nothing short of intoxicating – light, direct, and full of character.
NB: We are awaiting paperwork from the vendor, which will be digitised and uploaded as soon as it’s received.
