Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 6 February 2019.
Estimate:
�255.000 - �280.000

  • Desirable GTA 1300 Junior, one of 193 built
  • Fascinating ownership history with two private owners from new


In June 1968, Alfa Romeo introduced the 1300 GTA Junior. Despite retaining the same overall capacity of 1,290 cc, the Tipo 559 engine exhibited key differences to the GT Junior's Tipo 530. The bore and stroke were 78 � 67.5 mm, instead of 74 � 75 mm on the GT Junior. The carburettors were larger Weber 45 DCOE18s instead of 40 DCOE28s, and the cylinder head was fitted with twin plugs. As a result, the Tipo 559 was able to deliver 96 cv at 6,000 rpm. In addition to the engine, steel-pressed wheels and a set of dedicated stickers differentiate the Junior from its larger sibling.

Chassis no. AR 776142 was completed on 23 November 1973 and finished in Biancospino. Subsequently delivered on 29 November to AutoBecker in Germany, it remained unsold until 1979, when it was sold to another German dealer.

Its first private owner acquired the car and imported it to Japan in 1983 and registered it two years later under registration �68 33'. He kept the car for 39 years before it was purchased by the consignor and restored in 2018 to factory Stradale specification. Its current mileage of 52,000 km is believed to be original. One of the most desirable Alfa Romeos ever built, it is ready to participate in some of the finest events in Europe.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pa19.
