It had to be and Alfa, it had to be and Italian car… My name is Fernando Pereira, I’m 52 years old. This Alfa Romeo is a GT Junior bertone as people like to call it the production started in 1963, it was and evolution from the Sprint that already existed

It was a car that had succeed well it was a sport with different specs from the most cars of its competitors 4 wheel disk brakes, an engine more performance wise, a more accessible price which was very important to Alfa Romeo at those days make a car with this specs

It was a model with a lot of variants of engines but always maintaining this sports lines small, agile which was one of the main spec of these days and today still This car, I know that it was sold to Mozambique the original colour was white, not like it is now

After, it had its period in Mozambique and with the revolution and the independence of the colonies the car was imported the Portugal in 1978 in this period from 78′ until the time I bought it, it has changed the steering wheel side from left to right side

And I found this car in a workshop from a friends dad who wanted to buy some cars that was in that workshop and she said “my dad wants to buy a jeep which is this workshop but behind this jeep there is a lowered red car and the owner wants to sell everything

And when I heard a lowered red car i was curious we went there to see it, the car was there for 9 years, I made the deal and it is here with me now

The reason why the Italians must be because one of my dad’s neighbour invited us to see the rally of Portugal at night in Sintra which is near and the duels in that rally always showed the Italian cars, the Fords, Lancias and all this

Maybe because of its decorations, maybe because the sound or maybe because my dad had some Fiat cars I always had the thing for the Italian cars I think the Italians has an special emotion doing cars and other things

And the cars to me has to have also emotion, it cannot be a box which we get inside and go to work or travel has to have something and the Italian cars has this particularity and this emotion

Which I like a lot and i thing the 60’s 70’s Italians the most beautiful cars ever made This GT Junior its completely stock the only difference is the GTA wheels which was and extra back in the days and the rest is perfectly original becaus is the way I like it

It has this headlights which is an extra and only the wheels Beyond the cars I also like motorcycles, at this moment my professional life is related to motorcycles I have some old all terrain bikes which I’m restoring it I have some projects, this 82′ Yamaha, another 80′ motocross also

It’s another passion of mine one thing is the cars not be completely restored like it just came out from the stand it’s not the case and is not what I want, I want it in good conditions, with this “glamour” but I want it to have it’s usage marks

It’s like that I want it to continue being, it was never completely restored from A to Z and it’s like this I want to keep it When we drive a car like this the things are different, you lose control if you decelerate on a curve for exmple

This is interesting, its one of the pleasures, not only to have it but to drive it and to enjoy this litle … which in a group is a lot but these little reactions that the cars transmit to us

Which I think today’s cars doesn’t transmit anything, we just go inside turn on the start and stop and go… What I like most is the design… It’s a lot of things but what I like most is the design of the car, the engine sound

Those are the two things, the car doesn’t have radio, some times friends of mine or family who asks “This car doesn’t have radio” and I say the best radio for this car is the engine, it has to be heard The difference between a car that provoke emotion I usually say that is

When we park the car, left the car and we look back again to see the car once again that’s what I like on this car, and this colour of course
