Junior Bertone appreciation thread

[beach bum]

Greek 1600 Junior. I am the second owner. Just over 110.000 kms.

Can't afford the real thing?

£150 all in:

Oh yes! Really wanted one those as a 14 year old. In fact spent my first proper wage on a Subaru 22b version.

They are lovely but for me, it was always the Fulvia that was the prettier car:

The Fulvia is a delicate and achingly pretty car. I drove a Zag Coupe 1.3 and I was really amazed to find out how balanced it was. Fantastic 4-carb slanted mill.


I was invited by a mate to drive this to and fro a Dutch Classic Event . . . from Belgium. Never drove one - a GTV 1750 - and I'll report back to over here.

Hi folks,

I thought I'd join in with my latest addition to the fleet.



That's it in the hands of its previous owner. Its now on a boat from NZ to the UK and will arrive in Feb. I'm whisking it straight over to the lads at Alfaholics for a workover, road legalization and some mods for UK racing.

Here it is as it stands today; Some of you may recognise one or two of these pics from the car's for sale ad's dotted about the net.

Is that Mike Bell in the Mk1?

Ha! That's me, about 10 years ago. Car has been restored since and now features a monster engine, weld in cage and many other bits!

Very nice. That was a good shot.
Unusual location of HT leads; is the ECU in the car?
Have you got more details/photos?

[dinkel]

Nice long intake for boosting that Nord torque.

What a great thread. I take delivery of mine in a week or so. Its been restored by Stelvio in Denmark and is an original UK RHD 1970 GT Junior 1300. It had been driven to Denmark in the eighties by an English guy who ended up staying there. He couldn’t register it in Denmark due to the 180% import tax so it was stored for decades.

You can see pics here: http://fotoalbum.stelvio.dk/#!album-63

Can't wait to pick it up from the docks.

That is just fantastic, best of luck with it. They are such beautyful cars.

Mine at home

I was wondering if anyone knew how many UK RHD GT Juniors are left on our roads. Can't be many

[joesnow]

Very nice!
I recently de-bumpered mine, and will be changing the front grille to a gta look, but they look great with bumpers too. I suppose I can always go back!

I think you are right .. they look good with or without. How do you find the Nardi woodrim wheel? I find my standard one too big, struggle to get my legs under it and it seems too far away
