A teased appearance by a 1977 Alfa Romeo GT Junior has put one of Alfa Romeo’s best-known small coupes back into the center of online car chatter. (x.com) The clip tied the car to *Bangers & Cash*, the United Kingdom series built around Mathewsons, the North Yorkshire auction house whose show began in 2018 and is still airing new episodes in 2026. Season 13 listings show fresh episodes running in April 2026. (mathewsons.co.uk) (tvmaze.com) The same wave of posts also included a stock-car collection teaser and meet photos from Daikoku Parking Area, the Yokohama rest stop that has become Japan’s best-known informal car gathering point. Those posts came from the same social-media cycle as the Alfa clip. (x.com 1) (x.com 2) (samuraicarjapanjdm.jp) The GT Junior name carries weight because the Alfa Romeo 105 and 115 series coupes ran from 1963 to 1977, with Bertone styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Alfa’s twin-cam four-cylinder engines. The GT 1300 Junior arrived as the entry model in that coupe line and became one of the marque’s defining road cars. (hagerty.co.uk) (en.alfaromeo-club.com) A 1977 example sits at the very end of that production run, which helps explain why even a brief teaser can draw attention from collectors and viewers who follow original-spec and period-correct European classics. Reference guides for the model family place 1977 as the closing year for the 105 and 115 coupe range. (hagerty.co.uk) (alfa105.org) That interest also fits the format of *Bangers & Cash*, which has built its audience around the stories, provenance and auction appeal of older vehicles rather than new-model launches. Mathewsons describes the program as following its family auction business and the vehicles that pass through it. (mathewsons.co.uk) (imdb.com) The Alfa teaser does not yet amount to a published episode synopsis, so the exact air date and the car’s role in the program remain unconfirmed from the sources available here. For now, the clip has done the job teasers are meant to do: put a late-run GT Junior back in front of an audience that still stops scrolling for a two-door Alfa. (x.com)
