'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,

Marco Fazio

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??
