Description
Alfa Romeo Giulia coupé Bertone GT 1300 Junior This car is an example of the first series, with the "Scalino" bonnet, for restoration to original condition or for project GTA 1300 Junior YEAR: 1968, first series - Bonnet letter box Certificate of origin Alfa Romeo museum VERSION: 105. 30 00530.
ENGINE: Twin-cam 4-cylinder - 1290 cm3 - original 103 bhp (SAE), 88. 4 bhp (DIN) at 6, 000 rpm - 7 hp. 5-speed manual gearbox, 4 ATE disc brakes. The engine, Weber carburettors, gearbox and axle work normally, providing a good basis for advanced preparation. Depending on the level of preparation, 165 HP can be obtained at 8, 400 rpm. At these revs the fitter sings, this is the most Veloce version of the Bialbero. KILOMETRE: nearly 100, 000 original km on the clock. BODYWORK: This Alfa Romeo is a good base for restoration. It has the advantage of having been dismantled for sandblasting and the application of a protective coat of rustproof epoxy primer. The bodywork and underbody are sound overall, but work should be carried out to replace the rocker panels, rework the floorboards and the rear window surround with dent removal on the front and door panels. EQUIPMENT: the equipment, including the upholstery, dashboard, instruments and accessories, is almost complete and functional for a restoration to original condition. The chrome and bumpers are not pitted. The brakes, clutch and suspension need to be serviced. DOCUMENTS: Original registration certificate. ALFA HISTORY: In 1968, Alfa Romeo decided to take part in the Touring Car Championship, which was reserved for cars with a smaller engine capacity: this is how the Giulia GTA 1300 Junior came into being. At the time, it was billed as "the Giulia that wins": a fitting definition, since the GTA 1300 Junior's record of national and international triumphs includes victories in Italy and the United States, as well as on various European circuits LOCATION: The Alfa can be seen at Département Classic in Boissets (78), a specialist in the restoration of historic and competition vehicles. No visits without prior telephone contact. No exchanges for other vehicles. PROJECT HISTORY: After racing a 1954 Alfa Giulia TI Super 1600 (now in Japan), I acquired this coupé to develop a GTA 1300 Sprint project. A life choice led me to other horizons. The car is eligible for most historic races, including the Tour Auto, in rally or circuit. The Group 2 homologation form n° 1557 includes a large number of engine and body modification extensions, including the Auto-delta kit with wide fibreglass wing.
