Picture
FACT FILE
Fully documented restoration carried out by CC Motors between 2019–2020. Returned to the road in 2021 and only sparingly driven since.
The car still presents as freshly restored, both cosmetically and mechanically. It drives beautifully and feels exceptionally fresh throughout. A few minor issues have appeared since the restoration, including a small oil leak and a non-functioning rev counter. The asking price reflects this, allowing the next owner to service and fine-tune the car as desired.

This is the first Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato imported into Sweden, originally brought in by Bennets Import in 1975.
The car drives exactly as it should, and the 1300 engine pulls surprisingly well. Wherever it goes, it attracts attention and conversation — especially at petrol stations. Ownership is straightforward, as the mechanical components are shared with the well-known Alfa Romeo 105-series cars, meaning parts availability is excellent and most components can be sourced within days.

Conclusion
The true appeal of the Zagato cannot be measured by numbers alone. If your focus is outright top speed on the motorway, you may be missing the point of what these cars are about. More important than a slight increase in performance is the Junior Zagato’s lower centre of gravity and shorter overhangs, making it an even more agile, compact, and engaging driver’s car than most other Alfa Romeo 105/115-series models.
Perhaps no endorsement speaks louder than its owners. One of them is Gordon Murray, widely regarded as one of the greatest racing and road car designers of all time, celebrated for his philosophy centred around driving purity and enjoyment. Appropriately, his own Junior Zagato was restored and upgraded by Alfaholics.

The car is being sold on behalf of a client, and we strongly recommend viewing it in person. Come and see it, hear it, and experience it properly — this is a car that appeals to all the senses. Simply turn the key and head off on a journey, or even a completely pointless drive.

Viewings are strictly by appointment. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally rare Zagato-bodied Alfa Romeo — a true analogue driving experience.

Buying and selling classic cars should be enjoyable. Please note that the car is sold strictly “as is,” without warranty. Classic car ownership is a passion and a hobby, and ongoing maintenance should always be expected over time.
