Chassis AR2196486 is an early example, being a first year of production GT 1600 Junior. This motorcar was originally constructed in 1972 and supplied to the Italian market, where it remained ever-since. Finished in striking Grigio Medio Metallizzato AR728 over a Bordeaux (Rosso Buio) leatherette upholstery, a superb yet classic colourscheme that complements the lines of a Bertone GT beautifully - or so we think at least!

Completed in 2022 this example underwent a comprehensive restoration near Benevento - roughly an hour inland from Pompeii and Naples. Documentation of the work, including some invoices and a selection of photographs, is included in the accompanying history file. The restoration was extensive, covering all avenues including engine, gearbox, rear axle and suspension. Today this 1570cc engine pulls very strongly indeed - not least thanks to some greatly tuned Dellorto DHLA40's. The interior received equal attention, featuring a completely new dashboard, refurbished Jaeger gauges, and fully renewed upholstery in the correct period material - an often-overlooked detail that many restorations get wrong on cars of this type.

The body was largely unmolested prior to restoration, as evidenced by the original spot and seam welds still visible throughout the car. The respray was carried out to a very high standard, with crisp, consistent shutlines and a striking metallic flake in the paintwork - this one truly pops in the daylight!After sourcing, acquiring and transporting her to Maastricht in June 2025, we have carefully gone through the entire car and upgraded it here and there to elevate it to an even higher level: brand new lowered Eibach spring set, brand new 15" GTA-style wheels, fresh set of Tires, correct GTA-style wheelnuts, brand new exhaust system (from the manifold onwards) amongst some minor bits and bobs. Suffice to say, from a mechnaical point of view, this GT is in rude health and presents nothing short of spectacular. She comes complete with the original jack, spare wheel, small toolkit and a single set of keys. Documentation is equally pleasing: a dedicated history file contains a user manual, technical bulletin, ASI report, some invoices & restoration imagery amongst some period registration and miscellaneous documents. Like all our cars, we can supply this motorar on historic Dutch numberplates for the Dutch clients and we ship worldwide as well.
