This it has been my first car. I ve bought it used in 1980 and it was from drive feeling the best car i ve ever drove and i ve drive many cars as an auto salesman in my life. This car was of those who needed a strong hand and demanded to be driven to the outer limits. It was a drift master extremely well balanced through its transaxle architecture, superb brakes stiff suspension and a wonderful twin cam engine breathing through two twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE 4 carburettors, on the Sprint GT this engine produced 106 PS . The engine was substantially the same as that of the Giulia Sprint GTV discontinued four years previously, and had the same engine type number.
Like all subsequent models, the GT was equipped with an all-synchromesh 5-speed manual transmission. The braking system comprised four Dunlop disc brakes and a vacuum servo. The rear brakes featured an unusual arrangement with the slave cylinders mounted on the axle tubes, operating the calipers by a system of levers and cranks. According to Alfa Romeo the car could reach a top speed of "over 180 km/h and actually i had seen a speed of 186 for that time it was a good number but the most important it was the way this car it was going in that speed very impressive i d say.
The GT Junior has a tight suspension and weighed in at just 2,050 pounds (930 kg) for the 1.3 variant. Because of this, the car would often go onto three wheels, lifting the inside front wheel off the road when driven enthusiastically.
Production ended in 1976-77 and totalled 91,964 units of 1.3 lt. Juniors and 13,120 units of the 1.6 lt. Juniors and i can say that this it has been one very iconic and unique car of the automobile history who could have its place between the best sport cars ever made at that time.
