Cars of Coolhaven

The last time I went on a computer gaming date to a friend, I probably was eleven. Now, twenty years later, I am off to do some Wii with a friend again And on the way, I spot some nice cars, so quite a fun afternoon for me First, the impressive Alfa Romeo Sprint GT. Granted, this is the ‘starter’-Sprint GT, and it is quite worn down, but still, it is a nice car with a impressive front.

The Sprint GT has a four cylinder, Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine with two valves per cylinder and a 5-speed manual transmission as well as disc brakes are on all four wheels. The rear suspension uses a beam axle with coil springs. A limited slip rear differential was also standard on the later cars. The body shape was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone.

Wikipedia: The performance was low-end compared to others in its model line, with a total of 90 bhp. Despite this, the 1300 Junior’s top speed was 100 mph with a 0-60 in 12.6 seconds. In 1968 the 1300 Junior was revised and used many of the parts from the 1750 GTV, including the dashboard and suspension, but retained the early “step-front” body style. In 1971 the car was revised a second time, and received the same bodyshell as the 1750 GTV but with only two headlights. In 1974 the car was revised a third time and unified with the 2000 GTV, sharing most of the interior and exterior features. The 1300 Junior has a tight suspension and weighed in at 2050 lbs. Because of this, the 1300 Junior would often go onto three wheels. Production totalled 80623 units.
