The body trim, interior and instruments
The
1300 Junior incorporated several differences in body trim. Most notables
were the replacement of Perspex headlamp fairings by simple chrome bezels
around the headlamps. The side repeater flashers were repositioned from
behind the front wheels to a location forward of them. Rear side
indicators (new)?
Other minor changes included the lower front bumpers (painted black rather than chrome/steel), the quarter-lights (fixed rather than swivelling) and the chrome badge on the boot-lid under the Alfa Romeo badge (which read ‘1300 Junior’).
Generally speaking the 1300 Junior shared most of the changes of the 1750 Spider Veloce inside the cabin. One important exception was the steering wheel: unlike the new wood-rim wheel in the 1750, the Junior had a plastic-rimmed wheel similar in design to that of the old Duetto’s, but with only two metal spokes; each of these had a black horn push set into it.
Other minor differences were the old-style smaller ashtray (but with no cigar lighter fitted), black rather than chrome dipping rear-view mirror surround and redesigned seats with no tilt knob.
The only major difference on the dashboard between a Junior and a 1750 was the rev counter, which was redlined at 5750rpm (rather than 6300rpm OR 5600rpm?) – although on certain publicity shots the 6300rpm redline rev counter is shown in the Junior. There was also no low-pressure oil-warning lamp between the main dials.
