Thrills From The Flipside: 10 Great European Restomods

Alfa Romeo GT Junior

Years produced: 1965-1977

Oh, Alfa Romeo, where would we be without you. Famously unreliable but equally as well-known for their incredibly fun nature, Alfas are that stylish girl that is eternally aped but never bettered. Sure, she may not be consistent, but she’s got something. This particular Alfa Romeo restomod, the GTA-R 009 comes from the famed British workshop Alfaholics, who are well-known for their masterful work. This car started out as a rusted Alfa Romeo GT Step Front Junior. Since then, well, just look at it. It’s had a bevy of modern equipment added, including AC and power steering, but despite that, it’s also stayed remarkably light. Weighing in at under a tonne, it outputs 216 bhp.

This wonder of weight-shedding has been achieved thanks to a featherweight aluminum frame and a carbon fiber hood. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by an interior that you’d expect to come straight from Milan, rather than the west of England. Oxblood leather seats provide deep comfort while also matching the cover of the tuned Monza Twinspark engine. This is restomodding done perfectly.
