"To the untrained eye the 1300 and 1600 may look identical, but the 1600 is not only 10cm longer, it there are many little details that separate the two. For example, it has a one-piece front bumper, a bulge in the rear bumper to make space for the spare wheel, more pronounced wheel arches, different headlights, and a less truncated Kamm-style rear end. More subtle is the exhaust pointing downwards on the 1600, and the fuel fill mounted on the left-hand side of the car. A little “fun fact” is that all Alfa Romeos from the period are fueled on the left side, except the Montreal and the Junior Zagato 1300." from a photo-shoot of a delicious 1600 Z. Glass's says Zagatos were not imported to UK, so seems unlikely there was RHD production (though haven't found a statement to confirm) and therefore similarly unlikely any were sold direct to ZA. This one could be 1300 bumper and rear lights?? |
