'73 Spider or '72 spider?

I think it would be nice to share with you a piece of historical data received from the Alfa Romeo archives!

"Dear Sir,

with reference to your request we are informing you as follows.

According to our documentation files, the chassis number AR ******* originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 (115.07), manufactured on the 30^th November 1972 and sold on the 1^st December 1972 to Alfa Romeo Germany, Frankfurt.

The body colour is red (AR 510), with black tex interiors.

Yours, Sincerely,

I had read before that my chassis number was corresponding to a '72 car but the license shows it as a '73 since it was 1st registration date in June 1973. Now it has been confirmed.

Interesting, huh??

Hardtop?

Yes please!!!!
And what luck is this! Found a hardtop sold on ebay couple of days ago. We thought that it would be nice to get it for the rainy days of Finland, placed a bid.....302€ and it is mine! We are discussing on the shipping options now. Hopefully I will have it soon at home!
here are some pics of it.

License plates picked up!

And we are finally done with all paperwork needed!

Getting ready for storing the car for the winter...
