Now this is a car!1974 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Z (1570cc), first registered in April 1974. The Alfa Romeo Junior Z was a limited production two-seater coupé that evolved from the Giulia Spider (Tipo 105) and was first shown in 1969. The superbly aerodynamic design was the work of Ercole Spada at Zagato (hence Junior Z) of Milan, who had a long history of working with Alfa Romeo. In 1972 the car was revamped: now longer (Tipo 115) with a bigger 1570cc engine capacity. In total 402 Alfa Romeo 1600 Junior Z's were completed between 1972 and 1973 (although they were still shipping as late as 1975). It is a fantastic looking car, ahead of its time no doubt, and capable of a respectable top speed of 118 mph. Very very cool!
