This rare 1600 version of the Junior Zagato was imported from Italy where it remained its life into Belgium by a well known specialist. The car had an ASI Gold plate showing its originality. Somewhere it has received a repaint in its Bianco Spine as it was from new. The engine is the correct tipo for the 1600 Junior Zagato!

In 2015 our client purchased this lovely example and had it meticulously inspected and service by a long term Alfa aficionado and engineer. He was amazed with the exceptional untouched under carriage of the car as most have had rust problems. The car was then Dutch registered and the car was used for a nice trip to Italy. 

More recently the car was serviced and new stiffer springs and yellow Koni shock absorbers were fitted. The interior is very original and nicely kept with the correct Zagato carpets and black vinyl interior. The car is a joy to drive with a strong engine and excellent shifting gearbox.

The price is Euro 69.500,-.

Come and see this very nice example!

Model history

The Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Zagato is a lightweight two-seater coupé based on the Giulia platform and designed by Zagato. Produced between 1972 and 1975 in limited numbers – only 402 examples produced – it is one of the rarest production Alfa Romeos of its time.

It is powered by Alfa’s proven 1.6-litre twin-cam inline-four engine with twin carburettors, producing around 109 hp and paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The car features independent front suspension, rear-wheel drive, and disc brakes all around. Zagato gave the Junior a distinctive look focused on function and aerodynamics. The design, by Ercole Spada, includes a low nose, sharply cut tail (Kamm tail), and lightweight aluminium panels combined with steel. Compared to other Alfa GTs of the era, the Zagato stood out for its minimalism, compact dimensions, and attention to weight reduction.

The 1600 model introduced subtle design and interior updates over the earlier 1300 version, as well as improved performance. This is a rare and interesting alternative to the more common Bertone-bodied Alfa coupés, offering the same mechanical charm with unique styling and lower production numbers.
