About the Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior #33 T. Hezemans / G. van Lennep Hezemans Jarama 1972 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: This Minichamps Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior is a 1:18 diecast of the #33 Hezemans/van Lennep entry raced at Jarama in 1972. It reproduces the small-capacity Alfa's compact touring-car proportions and period livery, a strong pick for anyone building a 1970s European touring car collection.
The GTA 1300 Junior was the smaller-engined sibling in Alfa's touring car program, giving up displacement to larger rivals but making up ground through light weight and Autodelta's racing know-how.
Reproducing a Small-Class Racing Alfa
Minichamps builds its reputation on exactly this kind of subject, a lesser-known entry from a competitive touring car field where getting the livery and class-specific bodywork right matters more than headline recognition. The GTA's boxy but purposeful shape, with its distinctive rear quarter windows and compact wheelbase, translates well to 1:18, and the model carries the #33 numbering and period sponsor graphics with clean, sharp printing rather than smudged decal work. Doors open to reveal a stripped, roll-cage interior appropriate to a genuine racer rather than a road car, and the zinc-alloy body gives the small Alfa real heft despite its compact footprint. Wheel and tire proportions follow the period touring-car look, wider than a road GTA would have worn, a detail that separates a well-researched model like this from a generic reissue.
Autodelta's Small-Car Racing Legacy
Alfa Romeo's Autodelta racing division built its touring car reputation on cars exactly like this: smaller-displacement GTAs that punched above their class through light weight, sharp handling, and relentless development. The GTA 1300 Junior ran in period alongside its larger 1600 and 1750 siblings, competing in its own class rather than chasing outright wins, and results like the Jarama entry this model reproduces are part of a deep, well-documented ETCC history that specialist collectors follow closely.
This is a model for someone who already knows Alfa's touring car history, not an introduction to it. Paired with other Autodelta-era liveries, it fills in a genuine class-specific chapter that broader, more famous GTA models tend to skip over.
