Spotted rare 1600

[BL330]

Went to Cars'n'Coffee on Saturday here and spotted this rare ( to my eyes ) model Alfa.
It stopped me in my tracks because I had never seen one before in my 55 years.
It's obviously not a mainstream model. LHD was a hint that we didn't get them out here.
Can someone tell me about it?

It's an Alfa Junior Zagato built on the 105 floor plan and lovely IMO. Early 70s 1300 and 1600 versions all LHD, you don;t see that many of them, you never really did.

Lovely little things

Just stunning that!

OK some Zagatoes were iffy but that is spot on!

There was a Lancia that looked very similar:

Not a fan of the Fulvia Zagato but it would be hard to improve on the standard Fulvia Coupe looks

Love that too, such a great stance about it and I like the lifting rear window too - very impractical but totally cool!

The Junior Zagato has the same lifting window at the rear, strange to see electric rear tailgate window and manual front windows
