JUNIOR Z WORKSHOP
Small = beautiful.........
we take time to make beautiful "things" (......JZ cars !)
A workshop for small restoration projects only for the Alfa Romeo, by full:
Giulia GT 1300 Junior Zagato and the 1600 Junior Zagato, based on experience of many years.
With reliable and professional partners !
Main thing is that the work - on request - is done purely based on passion and love for this fastastic Alfa Romeo in order to help other Junior Z owners.
We do not wish to cut anyone short, but we are selective in taking on work
for preferable like minded JZ lovers for whom we want to and can work with pleasure.
In our view it is about something to give one and other.
Also we would like to achieve that we save as many Junior Zagato's as we
can and bring them back on the road to enjoy marvellous driving.
A grant pleasure for the owner, but also for the public to look at.
For the legacy of an outstanding car brand with a fantastic history.

Haaren, June 2017, May 2022,
Where can you find two Junior Zagato's
in one Bottega at the same time,
these days ?
Restored : 2
In restoration: 2
When the JZ's are ready, the pleasure in driving, making tours and visiting meetings (SSAR !) begins.
And the well deserved reward for a lot of energy , headaches, rechearch, consulting, sometimes with the help of the Alfa Romeo Documentation Centre (CDAR), solving minor and bigger problems
that were met during the process and the support of everyone involved is there !
At the Formula 1 Racetrack in Zandvoort
in August 2019
62 (!!) Junior Zagato's and 1600 Z's came together.
In our HJZA-Club are a lot of JZ owners
gathered helping each other to keep on driving this fantastic coupé.
"with a litle help from my friends" like Joe Cocker sang at the time...
We will keep on doing the good work ,
for you and for ourselves!!
Through our activities for "the Junior Zagato Archives", we found out that there are
still many JZ projects all over the world.
With owners who have the car standing in a garage, as a project, but do not start, because (like us at the time) they do not know where, how and with whom to start restoring their
Junior Z or 1600 Z.
Maybe they do not start because they have found out :
- how difficult it is to find the sufficient background information and/or
- mechanics with integrity and knowledge of the JZ are hard to find,
- that spare parts are not or very difficult to find or
- they simply do not have time to start with their project
- and:
that they have not the slightest idea, from the financial point of view,
where the end of this "experiment" will be ?
For You :
BEFORE YOU START...WE CAN ONLY EMPHAZINE :
- invest a lot of time in
getting to know the Junior Zagato with all her charmes,
but also with quite a lot of "blind spots" and "pit falls"
- many have high expectations and US dollar signs in their eyes, but do not get fooled, because at the end it is only you
who is paying the bill
- realize that there are no spare parts available for the Junior Z and every piece of body work must be made by hand (if .......you can find the persoon/meachanic/sheetworker, who really can
make these parts.......
there are just a few left, who are really able to do that !
For us :
it is a great honour and it gives us a lot of fun and satisfaction to advice and support JZ owners in getting these questions answered and sometimes even help them
to work on their JZ ourselves and to be able to make a boys/girls ! dream come true.
Our motivation has nothing to do with money, only with love and passion for the Junior Z.
Antwerp Concours, September 2017
To give you some idea of the projects we have done:
Picture galery:
Underneath you will find a selection of pictures that we make while restoring larger or smaller restoration projects.
During every project we always make pictures for the costumer/JZ owner which he/she can add to the history of his/her car.
Looking at the pictures can be usefull for every owner to get new idea's but also to avoid starting some restoration project, for which the
knowledge, experience and solution is already available.
So you can avoid to :" invent the wheel again !"
Put your energy in other things.
Especially members of the foundation "Het Junior Zagato Archief "can feel
free to ask questions or clarificatification about the pictures you see here.
But ..........also large JUNIOR ZAGATO projects :
