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 as one of his first major projects and is regarded as one of his finest commercial efforts. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the front and rear screens on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were all considered ground-breaking styling features of the era.Apart from their good looks, these cars are often considered as some of the best handling classic saloons, and with a 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 good 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 seats in the correct Alfa Romeo material.

The running gear has also received similar attention with the brakes being completely overhauled and the suspension 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.

This car was 'condition inspected' by Autolign on 16th of November 2015 and was issued with a Certificate of Inspection and Pass, having previously been recorded as damaged on the 'condition alert register' relating to a claim for a minor incident in 1999, but has obviously been fully restored since.

The vendor, in the last 12 months, has carried out some work on the car including replacing the headlining, door seals, starter motor, two tyres and overhauling the brakes.

There is a history file present detailing previous owners, servicing and MoTs, along with details and photos of the restoration work undertaken. Supplied with an MOT Certificate valid until September 2017 which was issued with no advisories and a V5c, this lovely sporty car is sure to provide endless enjoyment for many years to come.
