Alfa Romeo Giulia Junior GTA-Style

This Bertone-bodied Giulia Junior was restored in 2000 and altered to GTA style. It is a well-known car in Alfa Romeo Owners' Club circles. Its original 1300 engine has been rebuilt as a 1962cc Nord unit, and the car meets MSA scrutineering requirements, so it can be used on the road and in classic hill climbs and sprints.

The engine work over the past eleven years includes new liners and bearings, a ported cylinder head, high-compression competition pistons and a lightened flywheel. The rear axle has been refurbished with a limited-slip differential, along with the propshaft and centre bearing. More recent additions are a new radiator with a secondary electric fan, a new oil pump and an oil cooler.

The chassis and cabin follow the same competition theme. It has Harvey Bailey fast-road suspension, a GTA exhaust, GTA Corsa wheels, period Corbeau seats with four-point Williams harnesses and a rear half roll cage. The page gives no mileage, colour or gearbox.
