I came across this from Fiat. I'm not sure everyone knows about that? They have a department like the Ferrari Classiche service for our lovely Fiat Spider.
If you want to know more about your car you should try it. I'm waiting to hear from mine... Don't know the cost yet.
I think it's a cool thing to get... With that certificate you have the impression that your car worths a lot
I'm planning to do this for my '82 Spider 2000. Did you fill out the form on the FCA Heritage website, listing "other country", or did you email directly with the information for your car?
The certificate looks good on their website--glad to add to the documentation trove for my car!
Thanks,
Steve

Yes and after you can put your country. Also as you don't get a message that they received your form, so to be sure I emailed them the next day They replied that everything was all good.
Hi,
last year I requested more informations about my 69 AS Spider by email to Centro Archivio Storico. Their answer was disappointing:
----------------------------
Unfortunately the FIAT 124 Spider books of manufacturing haven't been conserved in our archive. The only information about your car, obtained from a production list, is the production year and month, and we can certify:
-Model/Version: Fiat 124 Sport Spider
-Production date: year/month (not the day)
Unfortunately nothing else is reported about color, interiors, engine number or other data - We are sorry for the lack of information but Fiat did not conserved the original register of manufacturing.
If you’re interested anyway in the Certificate of Origin printed on high-quality paper (+A4 English letter), to be sent with courier to the address you have provided (+ pdf preview), the cost is €. 70,00. As an alternative, the information could be provided in the text of an e-mail (this is not letter/pdf), the cost of this service is € 30,00. (The cost is standard independently of the number of the available information)
----------------------------
So minimum costs are 30 EUROs for a manufacturer date, which can be lookup up in the worldwide Spider Register by searching for cars in the neighbourhood of my chassisno (because European cars have no manufacturer plate at drivers side door).
If anybody is still interested, email address can be forwarded by pm.

Do they know that we already have that info with the car's title!
So you end up with piece of paper saying your car was built by Fiat? I hang out on the Chinese flea market sites quite a bit but I've never seen a knock off 124 . Are counterfeits a big problem?
