1976 Alfa Romeo GT Junior

The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were built from 1963 until 1977. They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint Coupé and used the shortened floor pan from the Giulia saloon car. The basic body shape, shared by all models, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone and is often regarded as one of his finest commercial projects. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered ground-breaking styling features of the era.Often considered as one of the best looking and handling classic saloon cars with its five-speed gearbox, all round disc brakes, independent suspension and torquey engine they were very advanced for the time and have the capability to embarrass many of their modern counterparts.

This superb Alfa Romeo GT Junior is presented in excellent condition having been subject to an extensive body restoration in 2012. This work included all the crucial areas on an Alfa Romeo including sills, floors, cross members, jacking points, and the lower wings all of which were replaced. A full respray was then carried out in none other than Alfa Romeo Rosso.

The interior was not forgotten and has been similarly refurbished with the fitting of a new carpet set and door cards along with a re-trim of the front and rear seat in the correct Alfa Romeo material.

The running gear as also received similar attention with the brakes being completely overhauled and the suspension was renewed with uprated springs.

Currently fitted with a 2000cc engine as the original 1600cc engine was removed at some point in the cars past, a common and desirable modification to enhance the driving experience.

The car is currently registered as a category D (Vehicle Damaged but Repairable - Insurer Decided Not To Repair) relating to a minor incident in 1999. The car was repaired and as detailed above has subsequently been restored in 2012 by the vendor. Since learning of its insurance status, the vendor has organised that the car is to be inspected by Autolign who are authorised by HPI to carry out independent inspections of vehicles. Once it has cleared the inspection the car will then be re-classified from "D" to "condition inspected" on the register. A certificate of Inspection will also be supplied with the vehicle.

There is a large history file present detailing previous owners, servicing and MoTs along with details of the restoration work undertaken. A lovely sporty car that is sure to provide endless enjoyment for many years to come.
