The Alfa Romeo 1600GT Junior was introduced in 1972 to plug the gap between the GT1300 Junior and the larger-engined 2000 GTV. In the UK righthand drive market, the 1300GT Junior was dropped but in many other markets, the two models were available as a range. The engine was substantially the same as that of the Giulia Sprint GTV discontinued four years previously and had the same engine type number. The final drive ratio was again 9.4;1 as standard on all 105 Series coupes with the 1290cc and 1570cc engine. From 1974 on, the 1300GT Junior and 1600GT Junior were rationalised into a common range of models with the 2000 GTV and were rebadged as 1.3 GT Junior and 1.6 GT Junior, sharing most of the interior and exterior features with the larger-engined car. The only exterior differences were no bumper overriders, lack of C-pillar green serpent badges, small rear light clusters same as pre-1974 Juniors and GT1300 Junior or GT1600 Junior badge on the boot.

Originally registered in South Africa on 15th January 1975 this Alfa Romeo is in right hand drive format and as such has plenty of appeal for the UK Market. It was imported into the UK in July 2016 and registered with the DVLA the same month. Since its arrival over £6,500 has been spent on this 1600GT Junior keeping it up to standard. There are some age-related marks on the body (it is nearly 50 years old) so it will require attention to the paint and body at some point in the future. However, the car is imminently useable, the vendor is a member of the AROC and has enjoyed the car throughout his stewardship. Offered for sale at a very realistic estimate this Alfa Romeo 1600GT Junior is a car with a huge fun factor and is an essential part of any Italian classic car collection. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
