Highlights
• A beautifully presented example of this classic Alfa Coupe in lovely Avorio Cava
• Highly original throughout and subject to a full, professional restoration in 2012
• Having covered 26,000 kms since restoration, regularly driven and very dependable, starts on the button!
The Appeal
The diminutive, yet muscular appearance of the 1300GT Junior combined with the very desirable Alfa Romeo badge on the nose makes this one of today’s most sought-after classic Alfas. Demand is certainly higher than supply with many purists considering the car the most desirable of small and lithe classic coupes to come out of Milan.
This example is based in Northern France and offers a rare combination of great, original condition but not at the cost of usability and practicality.
These little coupes are rising stars of the attainable classic car market with prices predicted to continue to climb robustly due to a lack of good examples remaining today.
The History and Paperwork
• A native Italian car spending its first 26 years in its motherland before being exported to France in 1998
• The current owner is a classic car enthusiast and has used the car regularly and sympathetically during his tenure
• The car is understood to have covered 26,000 kms since its comprehensive restoration in 2012
• Today the car is available with its French registration documents and its periodic technical test document – the French equivalents of the UK V5 and MOT
• The owner reports that a modest amount of bills and invoices are also included
• Photographs from the 2012 restoration are included and the car featured in a French classic car magazine too (pictured) and this will also be included in the sale
• The Alfa comes with 2 sets of keys

The Interior
• The interior of the 1300GT Junior is surprisingly roomy pointing to the excellent packaging of this Bertone design classic
• The interior appears to be entirely period correct and awash with delightful, period Alfa details
• The interior is predominantly dressed in black punctuated with dashes of chrome and wood
• The seats are box pleated in hard wearing black vinyl
• The delightful and tactile three spoke alloy steering wheel is finished with a wooden rim
• The central panel of the dashboard is finished in a light wood veneer
• The main instruments sit in the signature hooded cowls so suggestive of Alfa Romeo interiors of this period
• Carpets are black and protected by piped, carpet mats
• Both headlining and door cards appear to be entirely original and in great condition
Alfa Romeos of this period are an object lesson in packaging and sporty ambiance and this 1300GT Junior is no exception. The interior appears to be period correct and in great condition throughout. A lovely place to be with the best seat in the house being the one behind that sublime wood and alloy steering wheel.
The Exterior
• The car was restored in 2012 and the sills and inner sills were rebuilt in 2020
• The exterior of the 1300 GT Junior is finished in a very attractive off-white colourway
• The paintwork looks to be in excellent condition throughout and appears deep and lustrous
• Panel gaps are admirably tight and symmetrical throughout
• The extensive chrome work appears to be bright and shiny
• The steel wheels are centred with the correct, Alfa Romeo monogrammed centre caps
• Light lenses, front and back, look original and unmarked
• The correct badges and emblems, including the iconic Bertone ones, are all present and correct. There are even some supplemental period cloverleaf badges added below the midline and the heart grille is a metal one, not a cheap plastic replica.
• A set of chrome backed Carello driving lights are fitted to the front bumper
The word “iconic” is much overused but in the case of the Alfa Romeo 1300 GT Junior is is entirely appropriate. This is a small but mighty car and an object lesson in why Bertone has become the automotive design powerhouse that it is today. Low, lithe, and minimalistic but with bags of character and presence, this car is a design classic for sure.
The Mechanics
• The reputation of the 1300 GT Junior was built on its zesty 1,290cc engine, light weight and compact footprint
• The four-cylinder motor was originally rated at 89 bhp which was a prodigious amount for a 1.3L unit in the early 1970’s
• This example is reported to be in excellent mechanical condition throughout
• The low mileage, sympathetic use and an excellent restoration in 2012 has clearly stood this little Alfa in good mechanical stead
• The car is used regularly on long trips, including to the Alps and is subjected to a mechanical check-up twice a year
• The car is used regularly on long trips, including to the Alps and is subjected to a mechanical check-up twice a year
For its time the Alfa Romeo 1300 GT Junior was a real giant killer and that was the foundation of its charm. With a kerb weight of under 1,000 kgs, a power output close to 100 bhp produced at 6,000 rpm you have a recipe for a true driver’s car par excellence. Owners report that 100mph was easily attainable and the zesty and durable engine delivering impressive in gear acceleration under all circumstances. No surprise then that these little gems have gone on to become so popular and desirable today.
Summary
These little Alfas are becoming so hard to find in any condition, such is their allure and charm. This example is an absolute gem not to be missed. A mere 3 enthusiastic owners across fifty years and the subject to a really comprehensive restoration less than 26,000 kms ago.
The other key asset in this car’s favour is its charming originality. Yes, it has been restored but it has been restored to an original condition with no fripperies or unnecessary adornments added. After all it is pretty hard to improve on Bertone’s automotive artistry on display in the sublime curves of the Alfa Romeo 1300 GT Junior.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da 0 € a 9.999 € | 100,00 € |
| Da 10.000 € a 49.999 € | 250,00 € |
| Da 50.000 € a 99.999 € | 500,00 € |
| 100.000 € + | 1.000,00 € |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
