  • 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 35 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.

Ricercata GTA 1300 Junior, una delle sole 193 costruite
Affascinante storia delle propriet�, con due soli proprietari privati da nuova

Nel giugno del 1968, Alfa Romeo introduce sul mercato la 1300 GTA Junior. Nonostante conservasse la stessa cilindrata di 1.290 cc, il motore Tipo 559 aveva alcune differenze fondamentali rispetto al Tipo 530 utilizzato sulla GT Junior. Alesaggio e corsa erano 78 � 67,5 mm, anzich� il 74 � 75 mm, i carburatori erano pi� grandi, Weber 45 DCOE18 invece di 40 DCOE28, e la testata era dotata di doppie candele. Di conseguenza, il Tipo 559 era in grado di erogare 96 cv a 6.000 giri/min. Oltre al motore, cerchi stampati in acciaio ed una serie di adesivi dedicati differenziano la GTA Junior dal fratello minore.

La vettura con numero di telaio AR 776142, � stata completata il 23 novembre del 1973, finita in colore Biancospino. Successivamente consegnata, il 29 novembre, alla AutoBecker in Germania, � rimasta invenduta fino al 1979, quando � passata ad un altro concessionario tedesco.

Il suo primo proprietario privato ha acquistato l'auto, importandola in Giappone, nel 1983 e l'ha targata solo due anni dopo, con targa '68 33 '. La macchina � rimasta con il primo proprietario per 35 anni, prima di essere acquistata dal conferente nel 2018 e subito restaurata secondo le specifiche di fabbrica della Stradale. Si ritiene che il suo attuale chilometraggio indicato, di 52.000 km sia originale. Una delle Alfa Romeo pi� desiderabili mai costruita, � pronta a partecipare a molti dei migliori eventi in Europa.
