Though one of his first major projects, the Bertone-penned Alfa Romeo 105 Series Coupe has a simple grace that is as admired today as when it first appeared in 1963. When coupled with the 1.6-litre Super version of the company's ubiquitous all-alloy, DOHC, four-cylinder engine, the result was a performance car capable of shaming many sporting two-seaters of the period. The specification was straightforward - a two-door, three-box, lightweight (2,050 lbs) body powered by a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels. The suspension was independent at the front and braking was by servo-assisted discs all-round. A slick five-speed manual gearbox ensured optimum performance and added to driver satisfaction. The GT Junior variants began with the 1300 of 1965. It was designed as an entry level model for those that wished to enjoy the cachet of an Alfa Coupe without suffering the fiscal penalties that often came with the bigger-engined versions. It was based on the Giulia Sprint GT but featured a simplified interior. This Junior theme was developed over some 12 years, and from 1972 included the addition of a 1600cc-engined model that was specifically created to fill the gap that had emerged between the Junior 1600 and the now 2000cc-engined GTV.

One of just 125 examples of the 1600 GT Junior reputedly manufactured in right-hand drive, this example was supplied new to South Africa. Understood to have remained there until importation into the United Kingdom, the Junior still carries a dealer sticker from the South African Alfa Romeo specialist ‘Arnold Chatz’. Subsequently imported into the UK in the November of 2014, ‘CNF 342M’ was in the ownership of one Alfa Romeo enthusiast family since from mid-2015 until 2020, when it was acquired by the vendor as an addition to his large private collection. Fitted with the 1600cc straight-four Twin Cam engine allied to the five-speed manual transmission, the Alfa Romeo is finished in White with complementary Black interior upholstery and displays a recorded mileage of c.47,000 miles. Offered with a current V5C document.
