The interior of the Alfa Romeo GT Bertone contributes substantially to this coupé's reputation as a style icon. Unlike the open Spider, this is a closed body with a rear compartment, so in addition to the front seats the equipment includes a rear bench, headliner and side trims. As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo parts, we carry an extensive range for all versions of the Bertone coupé, from the Giulia Sprint GT through the GT 1300 Junior to the 1750 GTV and 2000 GTV. The decisive factor is the correct assignment to the version, as the interior changed considerably over the production period. Anyone ordering parts by the Bertone name alone risks unsuitable deliveries, whereas the exact statement of model and year allows a reliable selection. The following overview shows how the product groups relate to the individual versions. Since the coupé was built over more than a decade in numerous variants, different development stages meet in the interior, which show in the shape, material and division of the parts and demand careful selection.
Model and series reference
The GT Bertone was introduced from 1963 as the Giulia Sprint GT with its characteristic stepnose. It was followed by the GT 1300 Junior, the Veloce versions and, from January 1968, the 1750 GTV. With the second series in 1969 the stepnose was dropped, the car received a flat front, changed seats, a new dashboard and a different steering wheel. The 2000 GTV from 1971 formed the most powerful version with its own dashboard and centre console. For the interior this means that stepnose models and later versions require very different parts. There are also differences within the later years, for example between the 1300 and 1600 versions, the 1750 and the 2000. Before each order it should therefore be checked exactly which version and which year is at hand, so that dashboard, veneer, seats and trims match. Anyone who knows the exact version of their coupé can compile the entire interior programme precisely, without wrong orders, and extend it step by step.
Shared across the range or model dependent
Within the 105 range the Bertone shares certain interior parts with the Spider and Giulia Berlina, such as switches, warning lights or small fittings from the common corporate shelf. Character-defining and coupé-specific, however, are the wood veneer dashboards, the rear bench, the headliner and the side trims of the closed body. These parts do not exist in the same form on the open Spider, which is why assuming free interchangeability between Spider, GT Bertone and Giulia Berlina would be wrong. Commonalities exist mainly with small control parts, but the visible equipment on the Bertone always follows the two-door coupé shape with rear compartment. Anyone drawing from a Spider or saloon stock should therefore check carefully whether a part is really intended for the coupé and does not merely look similar, since with the interior in particular small deviations decide the fit. Individual control parts can indeed be swapped between the models, but veneer, seats, headliner and trims follow the coupé shape and should be chosen correctly for the series.
Part types and product groups
The interior range for the GT Bertone is divided into several product groups. The dashboard includes the upper part, repair kits, wood veneer and wood decor film in a light and dark version, glovebox parts and radio panels. The centre console is offered to suit the engine. For the seats the programme covers seat covers and seat padding, each assigned to the version and the year. Added to this are door and side trims, headliner and parcel shelf, sun visors and interior mirrors, floor coverings and carpets, seat belts as well as steering wheels, hubs and gear knobs. There are also small parts such as control levers, mounting sets and trim rings, which are easily overlooked during a restoration but are important for a faithful overall appearance. These groups reach from the floor over seats and trims to the headliner and fully represent the interior of the coupé. They can be selected specifically by version and year, so that a step-by-step restoration remains easy to plan and individual areas can be restored one after another. As the Bertone as a coupé has more visible surfaces in the interior than the open Spider, it is worth coordinating dashboard, veneer, seats and trims in colour and material.
Differences by year, series or version
The greatest differences concern the dashboard, which is offered in distinct versions for the early 1300 and 1600 models, for the middle range up to 1750 and for the 2000. The wood veneer is multi-part and differs in its division depending on the version, as does the wood decor film for the sheet metal dashboard. Seat covers and padding are also closely tied to the respective version, from the early Sprint GT through the GT Junior to the late 2000 GTV. Centre console, steering wheel and gear knob likewise follow the version. With the dropping of the stepnose the design in the front interior also changed. Anyone ordering parts should therefore state the exact model designation, the year and, if needed, the steering side, so that dashboard, veneer, seats and covers match and a series-correct appearance results. Even with apparently similar parts a close look is worthwhile, because small differences in the division of the veneer or the shape of the seats decide whether a part fits without adaptation.
Notes on selection
For a reliable selection it is advisable to determine the exact version before ordering and to check whether the vehicle still has the stepnose or belongs to the flat front. A photo of the existing dashboard, the centre console and the seats helps with assigning the veneer and the covers and avoids queries. Wood veneer and decor film are offered in the correct division for the series, which ensures a faithful appearance. With vehicles carrying mixed parts from several sources, a comparison with the series-correct version is worthwhile so that the result stays coherent and later rework is avoided. Anyone aiming for a uniform and faithful look should plan veneer, covers and trims together from the start and pay attention to matching materials. As a manufacturer and spare parts specialist we advise on the correct assignment and supply original parts as well as high-quality reproductions, so that even rare versions can be fully equipped. If there is uncertainty about the version or the year, it makes sense to check briefly before ordering, so that the right parts are chosen from the start and unnecessary repeat orders are avoided.
Frequently asked questions
Does a 2000 dashboard fit a 1750 GTV?
No. Dashboard and centre console are offered in distinct versions for 1300/1600, for 1750 and for 2000 and should be chosen to match.
Is the wood veneer the same for all versions?
No. The veneer is multi-part and its division is tied to the respective version, in addition there is the decor film for the sheet metal dashboard.
Are Sprint GT seat covers identical to later models?
No. Covers and padding differ by version and year and should be ordered to match the version.
Are there parts that match the Spider and Giulia Berlina?
Yes, individual small corporate parts. The visible equipment with veneer, rear compartment and trims, however, remains coupé-specific.
How does the dropping of the stepnose affect things?
With the second series the seats, dashboard and steering wheel changed, so the series should be known when selecting parts.
Do you offer reproductions?
Yes. Alongside original parts we carry high-quality reproductions, such as wood veneer, covers and trims.
