Why it matters
The 1600 Junior Zagato is the later, 1.6-litre version of the Giulia-based Zagato coupé, limited to 402 cars because of a markedly higher price than the other Giulia coupés.

Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The Junior Zagato began in 1967, when Alfa Romeo president Giovanni Luraghi met Zagato at the Turin show to discuss a more compact, lightweight Giulia-based body for aesthetically minded buyers. The design was introduced in 1300 form and moved up to 1600 in 1972, with production limited to 402 cars.
