The Classic: Alfa Romeo Giulia GT 1300 Junior
The Alfa Romeo Giulia GT 1300 Junior is a classic compact coupe that was produced from 1965 to 1969. The car belongs to the first generation, known for its elegant design and excellent driving dynamics. It was designed by the talented designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who was working at Bertone at the time. His design signature is clearly seen in the sharp lines and elegant shape of the vehicle. The Alfa Romeo Giulia GT 1300 Junior was a lighter and less powerful version of the Giulia Sprint GT, featuring a 1.3-liter engine producing around 89 horsepower. This power may seem modest by today's standards, but it was quite impressive for a compact car in the 1960s.
