The 1968 Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior (chassis AR776009) is a lightweight homologation-derived competition model developed from the Giulia Sprint GT, featuring aluminium bodywork and a high-revving twin-plug 1,300cc engine producing over 150 bhp. Originally delivered new in north-west Italy, the car later spent an extended period in Sweden before returning to Italy. A recent partial restoration addressed the engine and braking system, and the car retains its original interior throughout.
