1983...pininfarina or fiat?

my 03/83 has the round pinni badge on the rear, not tagged an azzurra

My 83 has round emblems front and back with the "f" emblem on them. Mine does not have any identification of "Azzurra" on it. I have read that Pininfarina entered into a marketing deal with the Italian yacht racing group Azzurra for a while, but I think this did not start right away when Pinifarina took over the Spider production in 83. As a result, I think there are Pininfarinas that are NOT Azzurras.

RE the A/C. I was told recently that the A/C mod was done at the dealership so some units ended up not having them.

Of course, now that this is written down and on the internet...the above must be true!
