1971 Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato news, pictures, and information

Coupe
Designer: Zagato
 
The Junior Zagato was based on Alfa Romeo's popular Giulia model, even sharing the same floor plan as the Giulia Spider. It debuted at the Turin Motor Show in November of 1969. Zagato's design was clean and fresh, with an emphasis on good visibility. The advanced 'wedge-shaped' styling foreshadowed many later 1970's models, and was even virtually copied by Honda for its CRX in the early 1990s. Unlike most Zagato-bodied Alfa Romeos, the Juniors were steel rather than aluminum, and came in both a long and short tailed version.

This Junior Zagato 1600 is one of 401 Junior Z models built and one of a very few in the United States. This is an Italian delivery car, which was imported to California in 2005 from the previous Dutch owner. It is in immaculate condition and maintained to highly original, unmodified specification, with its original beige Zagato interior and correct, unmodified engine. While controversial during the time it was launched, it is now considered as one of Ecole Spada's hallmark designs on a lovely Alfa platform.
