Model Designations.

[beatle_bayly]

Given Alfa's past history, I'm likely asking too much but can anyone tell me the basic differences between the model designations Ti, Ti Super, Super and Berlina ?.

IIRC the Ti Super is the lightweight racer ?

The millions variations of 105/115 sedans get quite complicated. In very brief summation:

TI: introduced 1962, had 1600, single carb, column shift initially, bench seat, disk/drum brakes, later morping to Dunlop disks. Metal dash, 5.12 rear axle, small taillights, "Edselish" two-spoke wheel initially. Molded door panels. Sideways slats in wiper cover with chrome trim.
TI Super: introduced 1964? Race version, 501 built, had 1600 SS engine with dual carbs, floor shift, 4.56 axle, disk brakes, supposedly light body, Zagato-type seats, same dash but different gauges in it.
Super: Introduced 1965, had slightly hotter engine that TI with dual carbs, 4.56 axle, initially Dunlop disks, later ATE. Whole different dash and more luxurious seats and door panels. Large taillights. Upholstered door panels. Longitudinal slats in wiper cover.
Berlina: Enlarged version of Giulia sedan with longer wheelbase, longer body restyled by Bertone, 1750 or 2000 engine, totally different interior, etc. Many pieces interchange, but a different car from a Giulia.

Was there a leather interior version of the berliner range. I have just taken delivery of a cloth interior version in pretty good condition but I do prefer leather.

I've seen vinyl, but never leather. It was supposedly an option, but I've never seen one. Most I have seen have that velvet like stuff

[Andrew]

Agreed. Every US-market car I've ever seen has had vinyl, and I've seen several late non-US market cars with the veloury stuff. Never seen leather, except on reupholstery jobs.
