Description
Alfa Romeo presented the 1300 Junior Zagato at the 1969 Turin Motor Show. The model was targeted at relatively affluent young people who preferred stylish and sporty cars.
It utilised Alfa Romeo 105 series production parts and shared the floorpan, drivetrain and running gear with the Giulia Spider/Junior. Designed by Ercole Spada, the car had an advanced and elegant form, with a lightweight space frame encasing the well-established suspension. The body has low overhangs and is characterised in particular by a cam-style incised tail.
Despite the low roofline, the glass surface is wide, which improves overall visibility. The interior, where the dash panel, centre console and seats are heavily designed specifically for the Junior Z, is relatively spacious, with flat storage space behind the driver and front passenger seats and ample luggage space.
The exterior design, unadorned with chrome or badges, had such an edgy appeal that fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent used the Junior Z in his advertising.
Ultimately, 1108 Junior Z1300s and 402 1600s (various theories) were produced.
1600 Jr. Z in rosso here we offer was imported from Italy back in 1991. Since then, some enthusiasts owned it and the last owner cherished the car for 10 years.
This is not something for Concours but it is in very good atmostphere and it runs very good. The original carpet fabric remains, although it has deteriorated with age. The paintwork is also original 519 Rosso, although some paintwork around edges has been cleaned. This is excellent example for who are looking for 1600 Jr.Z in original condition.
VIN AR3060126, believed to be produced early 1973.
