We have this request from the Press Fleet Manager of McLaren Automotive:

Please can you let me know if you can help out to obtain a certificate of origin for a Fiat 124 Spider from 1976

Can anyone enlighten him on how he might go about this?

One would have thought a conversation with Fiat might not be beyond the wit of man, or even a press fleet manager... or do McLaren preach internally that no other maker is worth speaking to?

You can get the FCA Heritage Centre in Turin to do this, for a price (€70)

Alternatively, if it is a US car, the month/year may be stamped on a plate inside the driver's door B pillar (not sure when they started doing that) or you could see where the chassis number fits in the list maintained by one of the German 124 Spider clubs (scurries off to find it)

Here you go (filtered to show all results for "76")

That's terrific chaps, thanks

One never knows when a favour can be returned...

Well I can always print out this thread and deliver it personally to the Press Fleet Manager at Woking (just to make sure the returned favour is a good one )

I needed a CoC for my Coupe. Depending on where the car was manufactured depends on cost. It was free for me as the car was originally a UK car, otherwise it would have been 120 GBP.

I did this in June 2020 so the details should still be good.

Not sure if CoC will suffice, but sure these people can assist if not.
