The Attractions
Alfa Romeo's original 'cuttlebone' Spider is revered today as a style icon, but the original buyers proved not to appreciate its radical look. The result was the restyling of the Duetto in the 'coda tronca' or 'coda Kamm' style, which itself became a design classic.
The rare 1300 Junior was conceived as an entry-level model, equipped with the small-displacement and pleasingly lively version of Alfa Romeo's twin-camshaft 'Nord' engine. Only 4,557 examples were built, and those remaining are rare compared to the 1750 and 2000 versions.
Extensively restored until 2021, this splendid light blue 1300 Junior is almost comparable to a brand new example. It has covered only 200 km since the completion of the work, which involved the structure and mechanics and is carefully documented by photographs. It has an overhaul valid until October 2025.
It is ready to be enjoyed and, given the reputation of these wonderful cars, is sure to provide unforgettable experiences.
History and Documentation
- The car is described as a 1973 1300 Junior and this seems to be confirmed by the absence of rear seats

- We are told that it has covered only 200 km since restoration
- Original registration papers and documentation of changes of ownership

- We have been informed that it can be registered with the ASI once the dashboard has been replaced with one corresponding to the one originally adopted
- Currently fitted with the dashboard of a 2000 model
Conditions
- Beautiful Azzurro Pininfarina paintwork finished to a high standard
- Only 200 km driven since restoration and mostly used for shows and exhibitions
- Comes with the very rare factory hard top in excellent condition with large rear window
- Complete restoration from stripped sheet metal documented with photographs

The quality of this car's restoration is carefully documented in the photographs, but stands out clearly in the finished work. With charming blue paint and perfect panel assembly, this car is a far cry from the red car that appears in the photographs before restoration.
The interior has also been finished to a high standard and looks as good as new thanks to very limited use. It is a car that conforms to factory specifications with the exception of the dashboard, which is from a 2000 Duetto. If this were replaced, the car would be eligible for ASI certification.
The Mechanics
- Completely rebuilt 1300 cc twin-shaft Nord engine with two twin-body carburettors
- Engine restoration included replacement of pistons
- Five-speed manual gearbox
- We are informed that the serial numbers of all components are correct and matched
The Nord 1300 cc engine may not match the performance of the larger Spider models, but it is much appreciated by enthusiasts for its characteristic smoothness in revving up. The engine in this car has been completely rebuilt and has covered only 200 km since restoration. We are informed that the serial numbers of all components are correct and matching
